'The Necktie' is a 2008 animated short by Jean-Franois Lvesque about a man with a dreary job who rediscovers his old accordion at age 40, and with it, his joy for life.
The film uses a variety of animation techniques. The central character is a puppet filmed in stop-motion, inside miniature sets. His co-workers are animated with traditional animation drawings on paper, digitally integrated into shots but designed to give the appearance of being 2D cardboard cutouts. 'The Necktie' was produced in Montreal by the National Film Board of Canada.
