All My Relations is a 5-minute short animated film from 1990, directed by Joanna Priestley and made from drawings on paper with 3-D frames.
Summary
It satirizes the pitfalls of romance, from marriage, childbirth and upward mobility to the disintegration of a relationship. The animation is framed by a series of sculptural assemblages, which emphasize the message implied by the archetypal characters whose dilemmas may be familiar to those who have bought into the American Dream.
