The Tocher Audience Reviews

LouHomey From my favorite movies..
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
boblipton During the 1930s, the British Post Office was a major producer of short subjects -- which they continued into propaganda shorts throughout the Second World War -- especially animation. So it was almost inevitable that they would hire Lote Reiniger, the wonderful silhouette animator, who produced this little fable of a young couple who fall in love; she is being forced to marry a rich old man by her father, and so he wanders in despair through the mountains until he comes upon some fairies who.... well, that would be giving the ending away.If you are at all familiar with Lotte Reiniger's work, you will not be surprised to be told that it is magnificent and surprising. If you are not, be aware then, that silhouette animation will call for you to attend closely and feel like an eavesdropper. Enjoy the old story, the beauty of the lace-like beautiful people, the humor of the long and twisty-bearded old people. It's less than five minutes, so even if you are foolish enough to not love it, it's no great investment of time.
