Manifestoon by Jesse Drew, 1995 [8:17]

In Manifestoon, we are presented with a vast array of animated cartoons, appropriated from the history of early American Disney and Warner Bros. animation, set to a voiceover narrating excerpts from Marx and Engel’s Communist Manifesto (1848). The clips have been very carefully sampled and selected to poetically portray the words uttered by the narrator at each given moment in a visually illustrative manner.
