Fusion adds hand-drawn animation to humorous clips from classic film and television of the black-and-white era. Objects like the UFO in Earth vs The Flying Saucer (1956) and a torture device worn by Uncle Fester of The Addams Family become brightly colored, cartoonish versions of themselves. These objects take on animacy and agency, highlighting their role in communication, in reflecting the nature of the human characters, and in disrupting audience assumptions.
