Screenplay
It is a compilation of images co-creator Frank Mouris had collected from magazines interwoven with two narrations, one giving a mostly linear autobiography and the other stating words having to do with the images, the story the first voice is relating, or neither. Frank made the film with Caroline Mouris. The soundtrack was conceived and created by Tony Schwartz.
The movie won the 1974 Academy Award for Best Short Subject, Animated Films and the Annecy Cristal at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival alongside praise by film critic Andrew Sarris as the best American film at the New York Film Festival and "a nine minute evocation of America's exhilarating everythingness". It was also included in the Animation Show of Shows. In 1996, Frank Film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". The film is also featured in the 1985 movie titled Explorers. Frank Film is included on the 2007 DVD five by two: five animated shorts by frank & caroline mouris.
