Ha! I actually laughed out loud at a 90 year old joke. Stuffing the Ugly Stepsisters shirt front with everything but the kitchen sink is a joke that still lands. The birds Cinderella dress her with the leaves of the trees.
Beautiful shadow puppets filmed on glass. A sense of gravity- the birds and leaves float through the air, the cellar trapdoor is heavy and takes effort to pull open.
Lotte Reiniger's stop-motion animation work is still beautiful and inspiring.
