TODAY’S SHORT: “Bambi Meets Godzilla” (Marv Newland) 1969
RUNNING TIME: 1:30
WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH IT: Um, did you read the title? Legend has it that filmmaker Marv Newland was planning on shooting a live-action film, but – upon losing the magic hour light for a key shot – frustratedly retreated to his bedroom, where he quickly devised this masterpiece of the short form. A classic tragedy that bridges the gap between Menander and Mickey Mouse, “Bambi Meets Godzilla” is a sobering reminder that every moment is a gift. Right?
