Can't rave enough about how this disc puts all the facets of this great, great film—only the Criterion Collection's second animated film—on display. Also features interesting information on the life of score composer Angela Morley, whose score elevates the film even further.
Is it Criterion's best disc ever? As far as communicating just how much art went into it, yes. And it does so with just a handful of supplements on one disc. I don't think Criterion has ever given us the gist of what went into a movie with such beauty and economy. A superb disc. Order now.
You shan't regret it. The El-ahrairah sequence at the beginning will blow you away. Wait'll you get a load of where the style comes from for that prologue.
Cool! Looking forward to this. Actually you know isn't the primitive animated prolog sequence been aped to death since Watership Down? I don't recall a sequence like that before WD.
