Neighbours is Pixilation created by Norman McLaren who is regarded by many as a pioneer of Pixilation. The story of the short film is two neighbours have a good relationship with one another and live in harmony with each other. But then when a small beautiful flower appears in the exact middle of the line separating the two houses, conflict breaks out over who gets the flower. Walls are put up, and soon the two neighbours descend into anarchy destroying everything they both hold dear, including the flower.
To me I feel the pixilation gives a very important message about fighting and the pointlessness of war. Considering it is eight minutes long and contains zero dialogue, the story and message behind the story could not be clearer and for the time it is a technical achievement.
