Watch Bead Game

In this fascinating, innovative exercise in animation, thousands of beads are arranged and manipulated, assuming shapes of creatures both mythical and real. They continually devour, merge, and absorb one another in explosions of colour. The theme is one of aggression and inevitability, but any conclusion is left to the viewer. Sound film without words. Oscar nominee!

Bead Game is a 1977 animated movie with a runtime of 5 hours.
