Carolina at Chapel Hill Lines: 24 Summary: < yum > I also remember the animated science films from elementary school days; they left a lasting impression on me as well. I recall that they were usually at least two big 35mm reels, long enough to last an entire double period! The common features that stand out in my mind is that they usually started with live action, with some people talking about some subject. When they decided they wanted more information, these folks (usually two men, as I recall) would "go to the Magic Screen." They would walk to a wall which was covered by a big red drape. When they drew the drape to one side, the animated characters would be visible on the Magic Screen thus revealed. I think the film about hemoglobin followed this pattern. Those films were entertaining and informative -- easily my favorite school-time movies! -- -Andrew Andrew Glassner decvax!mcnc!unc!glassner
