Quote:
"Evelyn Lambart's The Impossible Map used simple, object animation to give a lucid explanation of the problems of presenting an accurate picture of the earth on a flat map. [...] The Impossible Map retains a quality of freshness and originality that has yet to be equalled by similar and more recent efforts; it is a model of what an educational film can be."
