This is the only version I've found on youtube that doesn't censor out the "usual crap" on the announcement board at the beginning. I wonder why they felt the need to censor that?

Will Vinton has made amazing animations. And started a wonderful animation studio that had now become LAIKA, which has made a million commercials and the awesome stop-motion movies Coraline and now ParaNorman! Love it all :)

Hey, how did that drunk guy turn to stone? You don't suppose the gorgon Medusa did that to him (like in "Clash of the Titans"), do you? According to myth, one look from the head of Medusa, alive or dead, can turn any living creature, human, animal or otherwise, into stone.

@deraj36 I've met both Will Vinton and Bob Gardiner, but I wasn't around at the time this film was made. Vinton seemed better organized and was able to take the clout that comes from winning and Oscar and build a studio. Gardiner had his name on the Oscar, too. Why didn't he go off and show us what he could do on his own?

Saw this in '75 at Oregon Shakes' Carpenter Hall as one of the films presented by the Ashland Film Society, genesis of Ashland Indie Film Fest. The curators were Karen Smith and Jane Barre (big shout out to them). Shown to subscribers with 16mm projector. Karen/Jane introduced us back when to La Strada, Seventh Seal, Seven Samurai, Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast. These films were, and continue to be, indelible influences in my theatrical and film career. Closed Mondays is a short masterpiece!

I remember this being shown as a filler in between movies on one of the old pay-per-view channels (Prism I think) in the 70s or early 80s. It left quite an impression on me.

Bob Gardiner (March 19, 1951 - April 21, 2005) was an animator who helped pioneer what would become known as Claymation. He was born in Torrance, California and died in Grass Valley, California. He received an Oscar in 1974 for his short film Closed Mondays, which he made in partnership with Will Vinton.

You wonder if the writers of NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM stole their idea from this little gem??. Just slightly similar!! I can vividly remember seeing this before the movie Jaws in 1975 and i remember how it left me with my mouth hanging open.

damn I always thought Claymation was very daunting... I always get amazed at something like Wallace and Gromit. I mean the part waddle cycle of the guy walking into the room was obviously kinda choppy...but shit I wouldn't even know where to begin if I had to do a claymation walk cycle.

He gets credit from me too. But there is so much in this world that goes unreported. Vinton wrote back to me when I inquired about the story after Bob and I lost contact. It still doesn't make sense. But there is one thing I know. Bob did the work.
