Animated version of the Ogden Nash poem.

UCLA Animation Workshop and University of Chicago Color Student Film, Preserved by the UCLA Film and Television Archive. "An animated experimental film which is a comment on the perils of absorbed devotion. The main character, who enjoys creating shadow figures, becomes absorbed in the fantasy of a shapely female who assumes a reality for him, only to turn him into a shadowy substance that disappears"--OCLC worldcat.

Color UCLA Animation Workshop Film, preserved by the UCLA Film and Television Archive. A handdrawn animation of a ghostly bman flying above the top of a cinema where "Man on Roof" is playing, only to be shot and killed by a police helicopter. An audience laughs at his dying body. The curtain falls and the audience begins asking to play the animation again, so the film reverses and plays again, only for two critics to speak over the film, debating whether the animation is a political statement.
