Time Piece
Dir: Jim Henson
1965
*****
Putting aside the fact that I'm the biggest Jim Henson/Muppet fan in the world, I would have to say this is my favorite short film ever. It was nominated for an Oscar but lost out to the great Claude Berri which I guess is nothing to be ashamed of, but Time Piece was better than Le Poulet. It is surreal, fun (as well as funny) and hugely inventive. It's quintessentially Jim Henson.
