The 5 movies on this DVD revisit thoroughly the career of this genius animator. His movies reflect his passion for Shakespeare's plays, opera, cinema and Greek mythology. His works as an author, director and animator have received more than 60 international prizes as well as Oscar and BAFTA nominations. This edition has been approved by the director, for image and sound restoration, graphics and bonuses. This DVD features 6 films : - Next, 1989, 5min - Screen Play, 1993, 11min - Rigoletto, 1995, 30min - Achilles, 1996, 11min - Gilbert & Sullivan, the Very Models, 1998, 16min - Hamilton Mattress, 2001, 30min Next (1989) Will, a poor player who bears an uncanny resemblance to Shakespeare, auditions on stage in front of Peter, a busy producer with his nose in the trade papers, hardly noticing Will's extraordinary performance. Will, using the prop of a life-sized doll and changing costumes with magical speed, acts out brief scenes at the heart of Romeo and Juliet, Richard III, As You Like It, Hamlet, Antony and Cleopatra, Othello, Titus Andronicus, Merry Wives, the Tempest, the Winter's Tale, and other of the Bard's plays. It's an infinite variety show, and finally Peter's attention is on Will. What will the producer say when Will finishes? Screen Play (1993) Barry Purves' legendary Oscar nominated puppet animation of the Willow Pattern story of thwarted love. Rigoletto (1995) Rigoletto is a part of the Operavox series of half-hour animated versions of operas. Achilles (1995) In Claymation, we see the story of Achilles. He loves Patroclus; they carry that love with them when the Greeks seek revenge on Troy. After nine years of assault on the city, Achilles goes into a funk and withdraws from the battle when he decides that Agamemnon, the Greek king, has denied him his due spoils, a captured Trojan slave girl. In Achilles' absence, Patroclus leads the Greeks into battle, with tragic consequences. To avenge his loss and absolve his grief, Achilles faces Hector. Gilbert & Sullivan: The Very Models (1998) Richard D'Oyly Carte wonders what he has done in introducing the temperamental Gilbert to the equally difficult Sullivan. Hamilton Mattress (2002) Hamilton Mattress tells the story of Sludger, an aardvark who is a natural drummer and wants the good life, including having decent trousers (he is OBSESSED with trousers!) Along comes Feldwick C. Hackenbush, a caterpillar who is obsessed with fame and fortune and sees Sludger as a potential target. Together they set off to Beak City where Sludger changes his name to Hamilton Mattress and sets out for fame...
