WATCH: Mel Brooks’s 1963 funny short, “The Critic”

Check out Mel Brooks’s 1963 film short, The Critic, now on YouTube.

Brooks created and narrated this animated short, which earned him an Academy Award in 1964.  It’s a fun, clever satire on “modern art.”

Also, great graphics and soundtrack.  A quick watch.   Thanks to Steven Heller, whose blog, The Daily Heller, at Print magazine, uncovered this gem.
