The Legend of Bisclavret

I don't know if people outside of france and germany can watch this at all:

There's a short excerpt here:

Some images:

The story is quite nice (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisclavret), but what I really like is the style: stained glass windows in cutout animation! In the Making Of the director showed the elements which were all done in watercolour on paper, then scanned in. I find the colours just beautiful, they all glow like real glass windows.

Maybe you can ask some friends to record it in France and Germany.

That was beautiful, I wish I could understand German so I could enjoy the story in full - regardless with the plot summary it all made sense :-D
