Faith and John Hubley recorded their daughters' conversations when they were at that stage when it's half babbling and half language. They then made this cartoon from those recordings.

Did they succeed in capturing the quicksilver thoughts of such people? I can't say. I don't really remember that age, just memories of remembering memories of having remembered. But this cartoon does offer a charming interpretation of that age.

Hand-drawn animation, also known as traditional animation, is a technique in which each frame is created by hand. It involves the process of drawing individual images, known as frames or cels, by skilled animators and then photographing or filming them in sequence to create the illusion of motion.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.

Faith and John Hubley visualize the spirit of childhood imagination in this slice-of-life short set to recordings of their daughters Emily and Georgia at play.
