Okay now time to be all srs! Tale of Tales is one of the best animated...things for a reason! For one, the animation. ERMEGERD WHERE DO I BEGIN! First off, if you would have told me that this was made in the late 70s, I would not believe you! The animation is so fluent and full of life that I still can not believe it was not made on a computer! Like when the wolf was running on the highway with the baby who he thought was a piece of paper. I was like "HOW WAS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE IN THE 80S'!" It's that good. Though I would like to say that the animation does remind me of something that Terry Gilliam would do on Monty Python. At any minute I kept on waiting for a giant foot crushing something! And for anyone out there reading this who has not seen Monty Python:



As far as a plot is concern...well there isn't any seeing how this is an art film. And I'm not saying that as someone saying "EW IT'S ALL ARTY AND CRAP! WHAT DO THEY WANT FROM ME? ACTUALLY USE MY BRAIN! AOCNA OJRC AOFIHIUSNPRV HSEOICNXEWHCRUAWNSFXIEGAUNRENCMGFXNECYRNCFIOXAU!" No. I mean more on how there really isn't that much of a plot but it makes you think. Think about why there was a bull jump roping with a girl. And why they are in limbo. And why the wolf suddenly appear in limbo. And why did he take a paper that turned into a baby. And why-GOODNESS THIS MOVIE MAKES NO SENSE! But then I read a Wikipedia article (IT CAN BE RIGHT SOME TIMES!) that says that the movie was supposed to be basically a dream sequence. That the scenes are supposed to be fragmented memories being stringed together. Now usually memories in films would be strung in chronological order, like with Forrest Gump. But here, it is told out of chronological order because when we do remember something, it is usually at one point in time and not in order of events. They come to us at random. And that really does make sense. With the soldiers scenes appearing at random and the kids eating the apple as well. And if it isn't supposed to be a dream, well it's the one that makes sense to me!

And...um...yeah...that's all I got...



























Time to light the rockets!
