Introduction to Animation - Week 12, April 26th

Jack and the Beanstalk

This 1955 animation by Lotte Reiniger is very impressive and full of beauty and charm. “Jack and the Beanstalk is as captivating as ever even thought various animation techniques and technologies have been invented and perfected over the years to best capture and keep viewers' attention. Dark silhouettes placed on a bright background is a very elegant, harmonious and pleasing to the eye technique. Even thought the character figures are dark, a viewer can clearly see and absorb all tiny details and edges. This film is well-made and delightful and as up to date as it was in 1955. Lotte Reiniger is definitely one of the brightest and most interesting figures in the World of Animation.
