The Critic is a 1963 animated short film (only four minutes!) directed by Ernest Pintoff, written by and starring Mel Brooks, in his film debut.The short is a series of animated abstractions, with lines, squiggles, and other abstract figures moving and changing shape against a plain background that changes colors. Playing over this is the voice of an old man, a cranky 71-year-old Russian Jew. The old man, who apparently thought he'd bought a ticket to a European Erotic Film, struggles to make sense of the avant-garde animation and complains throughout.Brooks had recently gotten his big break playing a character called "The 2000-Year-Old Man," and in this short plays a very similar cranky old man character.Not to be confused with the animated TV series of the same title. | |

Pastiche | |
| The Critic (1963) / int_242f638e | comment |
Pastiche: Supposedly Mel Brooks had gone to see a screening of a Norman Mc Laren abstract animation short, only to hear another audience member grumble and mumble throughout. The animation in this short thus is done in a deliberately abstract McLaren style. | |

Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior! | |
| The Critic (1963) / int_9820c37a | comment |
Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior!: The audience member justifies his talking over the cartoon by saying that being 71 gives him the right to be loud because he would die soon. | |

Faux Symbolism: In-Universe, this is the old man's opinion of the cartoon he is watching. | |

Le Film Artistique: An abstract animated short film, lines and squiggles moving around to music, much to an audience member's disgust. | |
