I'm Hip

This musical cartoon by John Musker is everything the title suggests. A cool cat (literally) fancies himself as the hippest in the room. The gags come at a rapid pace and all synchronized to the jazzy tune by co-writer and vocalist Dave Frishberg. It's a whirlwind of changing scenery and colorful styles. It's filled with caricatures of people Musker knew, which he enumerated in lectures at The Mill Valley Film Festival and also the CTN Expo. You would probably need to watch this cartoon 10 times to catch all the references. Even the end credits are full of inventivness. For those that don't recognise the creator's name (or don't know how to use IMDb) John Musker was half of the team who helped revolutionize Disney animation as co-director of The Little Mermaid, Aladdin and many others. He made this film himself with a little help from his friends. It's cool, y'dig?
