Tales Of The Night

Posted in Movies, Reviews, tagged Animation, Arts, Cartoons, Cinderella, fairy tales, film, Folklore, Lotte Reiniger, Michel Ocelot, Movies, Reviews, Shadow Theatre, Silhouette Animation, Television, TV, Videos, World Cinema on April 16, 2013| 8 Comments »

French animator Michel Ocelot may lack the marketing appeal of a certain mouse but his movies cast more enchantments than a month at Disneyland, Paris.

Tales Of The Night is an anthology of little known silhouette folktales, imagined by would-be moviemakers against a jewel bright backdrop of ancient and exotic locations.

The roots of familiar stories lurk beneath the strange beauty of Ocelot’s shadow theatre in a primal and dangerous form; cunning and tenacity are worth more than might, princess brides are not what they seem, animals speak, werewolves roam and Happy Ever Afters have a high price.

Children used to big-eyed cuteness and easy moralising will be entranced, while grown-ups will feel like children all over again.

Verdict ~ Lovely, hypnotic and bizarre.
