This is such an amazing film. Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteYes, and on the correct day even! I had never heard of this animator before, and he's awesome. I love my blog, yes I do.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely marvelous! Really explores the strengths of classical animation to a degree that I don't usually see even here.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many amazing transformation ideas here and they could easily have failed in lesser hands. The level of imagination and execution on display is quite original... It's really a work of wonder...
ReplyDeleteI saw this somewhere once with subtitles and as best I can remember the monster threatens to kill(?) the fisherman by midnight if he cannot solve some riddle. The dashing hero who comes to the rescue confounds the beast with a verbal barrage of outrageous claims which I suspect are clever puns not easily translatable to English. My best guess anyway.
A truly memorable film in any case.
Hey, Will Finn! Not that YouTube does a thing to advertise this, but the CC button on the linked video does toggle English subtitles. This is not always the case, of course, but it is this time. You'll be happy to know that your memory of the story is perfect, but if you want to rewatch the video with the translations, you can.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mr. Calvin! I will check it out.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to watch it again, you are in luck. I found a better copy.
ReplyDeleteThanks KBB. I love this blog!
ReplyDeleteyeah, this one's excellent. Check out some of Chad Van Gaalen's music videos. Definitely some inspiration from this guy.
