THE TALE OF THE FOX (1937), an early stop-motion treasure — $3
April 12 : 1:30 pm – 2:45 pm
“One of the most unique and unusual films I have ever seen. It is an absolute must watch for not only lovers of animation, but for any film enthusiast period.” – The Animatorium
One of the world’s first animated features—preceding Disney’s Snow White by several years—THE TALE OF THE FOX is a stop-motion fairy-tale treasure. Produced in France by Polish-born animator Wladyslaw Starewicz, the film is based on the medieval tales of Reynard the Fox, a trickster whom the king orders to be arrested for his wily deceptions. Featuring stunning animation and hugely expressive characters, THE TALE OF THE FOX is little-known in the United States but deserves to be treasured by all lovers of animation.
Come out at 1 pm for a pre-show devoted to the incredible silent shorts of Wladyslaw Starewicz, who made painstaking animations out of dead insects and other creatures.
This film is screening as part of Arkadin’s series ANIMALIA MANIA, which spotlights films heavily featuring non-human creatures — some friendly, others deadly.
