⭐ Featured Review

Very good (although a somewhat loose) adaptation of the story with incredible detail in the Claymation
by llltdesq2001-10-30
9/10

"This short (actually close to 30 minutes in length) was nominated for an Academy Award and deserved to be. The attention to detail is high, which is typical of a Will Vinton project. Narrated by Will Geer (a perfect choce, by the way), the story is adapted rather loosely in spots, but it's a marvelous piece of work and I'm glad it's apparently still in-print. A worthy effort well worth seeing. Most recommended...."
