Take a turbulent ride with Aimee Mann in a pop-up paper airplane book that dances and bounces along to her song Pavlov’s Bell. (Evan Mather, U.S.A., 2003, 4:27)

***** – Perhaps the best music video short I have seen in a decade and if MTV had any balls they’d show it. – Film Threat

The scenario confirms what you suspected as a child — when the plane doors close, they lift you up, bounce you around and that’s it. Mather’s plane is land-locked above a field, accordioning on a length of folded cardboard, a metaphor that the viewer can fly anywhere. It’s a bracing and boldly-colored world brought to life by Mather’s innovate designs.Animation World Magazine
