Beschreibung:

He followed John Grierson to the National Film
Board in 1941 and stayed there, except for 2
missions when he went to China in 1949 and to
India in 1952.
He contributed in the series Chants populaires
from 1944-46, and produced Begone Dull Care,
for the music of Oscar Peterson in 1949 .
While the Cold War was happening in 1952,
Mclaren used a technique of stop-motion
cinematography called pixilation
His work earned him increasing international
recognition, and for over 30 years he produced
around one film per year. The interesting
examples are Blinkity Blank in 1954, the
advisory Rhythmetic in 1956, the crazy humour
of Il était une chaise in 1957 and the fantasy of
Le Merle in 1958.
