Hilarious... Delightful X-rated versions of Classic Fairy Tales... Fine DVD from Severin
|
This was very fun. It is a cartoon in the old Hanna-Barbera tradition but decidedly for an Adult audience. Back in 1976 it was given an X-rating. The animators were moonlighters from both the Hanna-Barbera and Disney Studios. Freed from pleasing their usual family audience, they let their horny imaginations run riot. Three classic fairy tales are subjected to their madcap debauchery: "Jack and the Beanstalk," "Cinderella," and "Little Red Riding Hood."
The animation is of that era. Don't expect the quality of contemporary cartoons. The line drawings and matte paintings are very well done but the animation itself is clunky. They're better then your average Hanna-Barbera cartoon. But no match for Disney's slick animation. Still they do the job effectively and are very enjoyable.
Severin has released this 80-minute long animated feature in its original 1.85:1 widescreen (anamorphic). Picture quality is good though there are still a few dirt specks occuring here and there. Colours are strong, rich and vibrant. There is some damage to the opening live-action portion of the film which Severin has apparently been unable to correct - bad scratch marks on the right edge of the frame. But this is an isolated incident and doesn't detract from the show in the least. Sound is in 2.0 Mono. Extras include the original theatrical trailer plus a 9-minute interview with producer William Silberkleit. Absolutely filthy, hilarious and worth every penny.
PS. Sequels please! And Hurry! Priority goes to remaking "The Little Mermaid," and "Snow White." ;-) |
