The Flying House
MC-1344, 2011
|
|
|
|
Winsor McCay's last animated film, the 1921 classic “The Flying House – Dream of the Rarebit Fiend” follows a woman's dream about escaping foreclosure, taking to the skies with her husband – using their own house as a vehicle!
In 2011, Bill Plympton's studio remastered the neglected film, digitally cleaning each frame of damaged footage. By adding color, voices, and a new score, Bill hopes that a fresh take on the classic will bring the genius of Winsor McCay to the attention of a new generation of animation fans.

Cinema Assassin By Chris Hill
it’s wonderful to see what one man, who doesn’t get the recognition he deserves, was able to create. The Flying House is a short that remains timely while standing the test of time and should be viewed by anyone with an appreciation of Animation as not just a medium but an art form.
| Gone With the Twins By Mike Massie
Bill Plympton's restoration of The Flying House labors to preserve a piece of animation history and makes for an interesting observation for diehard art enthusiasts and historians.
