Description:

"The Leucocyte Story, besides being a Ten Best winner, was also awarded the MPD Humorous Film Award and the MPD Sound film Award. It is a little gem of animation that is universal in its appeal and expertly done. The symbols depicted by the animated clay globs are a joy to watch. Without sound the film would lose fully half of its appeal" PSA Journal, Sept. 1966, 34.
