A mouse and his child

Distant memories awaken.

The full film is here. http://community.livejournal.com/animation/161072.html

I remember this film from when I was a child. Very melancholy about a pair of clockwork dancing mice. Half-forgotten, half dream, but it has a very dreamlike quality to it anyhow. Worth watching if you have the time and don't mind being somewhat depressed for an hour.

A check of amazon reveals this isn't available on DVD and surviving VHS tapes are > $50. I wonder how many more films I saw as a child lay completely forgotten in a studio vault and the dusty recesses of my mind.

I think I still have a copy of the book this is based on. It's pretty melancholy in the original too!

Whoa! I was about to comment, that I read the book and remember it fairly vividly - but didn't know they made an animated version!

direct link to the 110m FLV file (you'll have to save that link, and give it a human-readable name). Then go grab Perian to have a FLV Quicktime player codec and you'll have it for later! ♥

think I might make my boyfriends watch this.

Doesn't download for me that way. Just gives me a link.

Anyhow. Yeah. They should see it, but i bet they already have. :)

I've got a television show (a pilot) that was on in 1975 or so, any way you know to track it down? I can't find it ANYWHERE!
