Jimmy The C

Jimmy The C is a 1977 animated short, directed by Jimmy Picker and co-produced by Picker (going by James), Robert Grossman and Craig Whitaker. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Animated Short Film.[1][2][3]

Plot

The three-minute film features a clay-animated Jimmy Carter (who was U.S. President at the time) singing Georgia on My Mind, referencing his birth state. He is accompanied by a choir of Mr. Peanut lookalikes, and gazes at the moon at night. Ray Charles' rendition of the song is used on the soundtrack.[4][5][6][7]

gollark: For my purposes, I care about both of those things.
gollark: Well, I'd like lzip but zstandard.
gollark: (or possibly brotli)
gollark: Hmm, LZIP uses LZMA. How uncool. Everyone knows that zstd is superior.
gollark: Wow, TAR is a very awful format.
