    1.AliceAlice
    from First Run Features

    Customer Review:
    Alice in Wonderland. Not scary. Not a great deal of suspense, I mean we all know the story by now.
    But the lack of vibrant color, the eerie motion of claymation, and the sound effects that are crystal clear will leave a less-than-warm-feeling with you when you are dont with the movie.

    2.Little Otik (Sub)Little Otik (Sub)
    from Zeitgeist Films

    Customer Review:
    This is a good fairy tale, but I am waiting until my kids, four and six, are a lot older to allow them to watch it.
    The story is about a woman longing to have a child. When she can't, she mothers a tree root/stump as a child. The child (Otik) becomes real and has a voracious appetite for raw... more info

    3.[no image]International Tournee of Animation 4
    from Expanded Entertainment

    Customer Review:
    -- but the good ones are very good.
    The disc starts with samples of Plympton's early, student work. That's probably of interest to the hard core Plymptomaniac, but I'm not in that category. I found them missable.
    Some of the later pieces are outstanding, though. "Your Face" is a twisted... more info

    4.Conspirators of PleasureConspirators of Pleasure
    from Kino Video

    Customer Review:
    Svankmajer's feature-length film does what Svankmajer does so well. It baffles the viewer with a breakdown of the wall between literal movie making and stop animation. It creates a bizarre language of visual symbol, draws tantalizing visual alliterations between phrases in this language, creates a... more info

    5.Scenes From the SurrealScenes From the Surreal
    from First Run Features

    Customer Review:
    Jan Svankmajer is most famous for his idiosyncratic burrowing of classic Gothic and fairy tales and children's stories, but this collection atttests to the diversity of the animator's oeuvre. 'Darkness/Light/Darkness' is typical of more sculptured works like 'Dimensions Of Dialogue', in which human... more info

    Customer Review:
    I believe that a dubbed soundtrack in such a high level movie resembles something like a slap in the face of the viewer. What happenned to the original soundtrack with the beautiful czech language melody?
    I hope next release won't underestimate our capabilities and sense of aesthetics...more info
