        Did you ever see Frank Sinatra singing a spontaneous duet with Liza Minnelli when neither of them could quite get onto the others key as they belted out New York, New York? Well a fellow who does look at a lot like 1980s mayor Ed Koch takes on a similarly tonally challenged rendition of that song here as this proficient stop-motion clay work takes us on a whistle stop tour of that city. With its famous landmarks and equally diverse and vibrant citizenry featured, it squeezes quite a lot in for three and a bit minutes: enjoyably if you are an innocent tourist, but maybe less so if youre a local or a bit less sold on its somewhat stereotypical and dry depiction of the place. It is a well crafted film, just nothing much to write home about.
