All My Relations
All My Relations is a 5-minute short animated film from 1990, directed by Joanna Priestley[1][2] and made from drawings on paper with 3-D frames.[3]
Summary[edit]
It satirizes the pitfalls of romance, from marriage, childbirth and upward mobility to the disintegration of a relationship. The animation is framed by a series of sculptural assemblages, which emphasize the message implied by the archetypal characters whose dilemmas may be familiar to those who have bought into the American Dream.[4][5][6]
Reception[edit]
Los Angeles Times stated that it "blends a screeching sound track with ineptly drawn visuals".[7]
