A violin's music comes to life in color.

A whirlwind of colors and shapes dancing to a violin tune.

Synopsis

Ripples, shimmer, and violins. The dance of colors.

Commentary on the film: Fiddle-de-dee

Fiddle-de-dee continues Norman McLaren's research into animation painted directly on film. Ripples and shimmers of vivid color dance freely to the sound of a violin tune, in a work with no characters or story that invites children to experience music through their eyes.
