Sally Cruikshank began her career as an independent animator while a college student in the 1970s. In 1975, while working in San Francisco for Snazelle Films, she wrote, designed, directed, and animated (with only minimal assistance) tons surreal shorts featuring art deco-ish, vibrantly colored, indistinct characters, reminiscent equally of birds and frogs. They are Surreal and psychedelic, Anthropomorphic ducks, changing dimensions and evolving objects. It’s raw with a DIY approach, I certainly appreciate that. Many of Sally’s shorts have appeared on Sesame Street and scored by Danny Elfman.
