Alle helfen Teddy

At night in a kindergarten, all the toys sleep except the bunny on watch. A raging storm bursts the window open, and rain threatens a little teddy bear on the sill. The bunny leaps to help but slips, injuring its paw and waking the grumpy monkey. Seeing the danger, the monkey springs into action, extending the fire-engine ladder but accidentally dropping the bunny onto the elephant’s trunk. The monkey climbs the trunk, shuts the window flap, and rescues the shivering teddy by helicopter. With Teddy safe, the toys settle back to sleep.

Quacked Jokes/Early Animations

The animation referred to as Early Animations or Quacked Jokes is an anomaly among Beckett's films. It was probably not intended to be shown outside of his sphere of friends, being a collection of early experiments and directions. While lacking the sophistication and artistry that is found in his six finished works, this film provides invaluable insight into his first attempts at animation and clues to some of his later work. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with iotaCenter and National Film Preservation Foundation in 2007.

Breathdeath

A surrealistic fantasy based on the 15th century woodcuts of the dance of the dead. A film experiment that deals with the photoreality and the surrealism of life. A collage-animation that cuts up photos and newsreel film and reassembles them, producing an image that is a mixture of unexplainable fact (Why is Harpo Marx playing a harp in the middle of a battlefield?) with inexplicable act (Why is there a battlefield?). It is a black comedy, a fantasy that mocks death ... a parabolic parable.
