Kick Me is an Academy Award-nominated 1975 animated short film (eight minutes) by SFX artist Robert Swarthe (Star Trek: The Motion Picture).It's about a pair of red legs and his misadventures with a giant baseball, a giant spider and the film itself. As the film itself states in the opening frames, all of the animation was done by scratching directly onto film stock, as opposed to photographing cels. | |

Line Boil: A lot of this, starting with the opening titles, since as the film itself states it was scratched directly on film. | |

Old-Timey Cinema Countdown | |
| Kick Me / int_32251696 | comment |
Old-Timey Cinema Countdown: Used for a gag in which the legs stumble into a reel of film leader, and are knocked around by the sweeping hand of the clock counting down. | |

| Kick Me / int_a73cfb7f | comment |
Animate Inanimate Object: At first the legs have to dodge a baseball that seems like just a simple baseball. Then the baseball starts to grow in size and actively chases the legs around. After a scene where the baseball chases the legs underwater, the baseball emerges and shakes itself like a wet dog. | |

Fuzzball Spider | |
| Kick Me / int_b79b7878 | comment |
Fuzzball Spider: The spider that attacks the main character is a one-eyed ball with eight small legs. In fact, it doesn't walk, it just bounces like a basketball. | |

Limited Animation | |
| Kick Me / int_e034faef | comment |
Limited Animation: It was scratched directly onto film, after all. The very simple, abstract animation shows a pair of legs, which are themselves nothing more than two lines, having a series of adventures in a landscape that is also abstract line drawings. | |

Melting-Film Effect | |
| Kick Me / int_f6f2bd52 | comment |
Melting-Film Effect: The film melts just as the spider is about to get the legs, allowing the legs to escape. Then, as the legs start to dance happily, the film melts a second time. | |
