Hen HopRating: 3.1/5 (with 55 votes)
Hen Hop is a 1942 drawn-on-film animation short created by Norman McLaren for the National Film Board of Canada. In it, a hen gradually breaks apart into an abstract movement of lines as it dances to a barn dance. One of a number of drawn-on-film animated works created by McLaren, Hen Hop was animated by inking and scraping film stock, with colour added optically afterwards. To make Hen Hop, McLaren spent days in a chicken coop to capture what he called "the spirit of henliness". ()
