Playful renditions of "Hail to the Chief" provide a musical backdrop for St. George's portrayal of the diverse and often eccentric men who have held our nation's highest office.
"Visually, no comic device is spared as Small's brilliantly expressive and flawlessly animated caricatures come to life to bare all-from the most admirable to the most dishonorable qualities of these men," said Chair Silvia Kraft-Walker. "The presentation is rich and layered, with Channing's appropriately droll narration, the humorous use of sound effects and music, as well as many clever and sometimes subtle enhancements. The creators took every opportunity to embellish, extending the original work."
