Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Frank Film is an Academy Award winning 1973 animated short film directed by husband-and-wife Frank and Caroline Mouris and written by Frank Mouris.It is a stop-motion short in which Frank Mouris tells the story of his rather ordinary life. The most distinctive feature of this eight-minute film is Mouris's use of magazine cutouts for montage. Mouris collected thousands and thousands of magazine images over the years, and in the short they all pass by at lightning speed, appearing and disappearing and moving around the screen as they illustrate Mouris's autobiography. Another distinctive feature is Mouris's use of two separate narration tracks, one being him telling the story of his life in a straightforward manner while the other consists of Mouris rattling off a non-stop list of words that match whatever the images and the other voice are illustrating.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Not to be confused with the feature film, Frank.

Clip-Art Animation: Taken to an extreme here, as Mouris often has a bewildering number of clip art images zooming around at blinding speed.

Book-Ends: When the film opens, the second Mouris narration track has Frank calling out the number of every year in reverse, starting with 1973 and going back to his birth in 1944, ending with his birthday. The film ends with the second Mouris narration calling out the number of every year from 1944 back to 1973.

It's All About Me: It is all about him, after all, as Mouris narrates the story of his life.
