Lotte Reiniger: The Fairy Tale Films
Synopsis: THE FAIRY TALE FILMS is an inspired collection of animated shorts by renowned director Lotte Reiniger, whose signature style incorporated black and white silhouette animation. Here she interprets classic myths and fairy tales--such as CINDERELLA, SLEEPING BEAUTY, and SNOW WHITE--in her own unique way. Striking visuals combine with charming narrations and soundtracks to capture the imaginations of children and adults alike.
“Reiniger's work ranks amongst the most creative and lovely in the history of animation.”~Brian Montgomery, DVD Beaver
