Subjects: Associations, institutions, etc.; Bureaucracy in motion pictures.; Bureaucrats.; Society in art.
Abstract: "An animated puppet film of real imagination that centers on the question of what color the trash box in a large organization should be painted. As this decision is passed upward through employees, officers and finally the chairman of the board, it grows larger and more important. Though done with great humor, the film examines with insight the dehumanizing effects of bureaucracies and raises serious and pointed questions concerning the nature of responsibility and the individual's reaction to it."
