The Adventures of Prince Achmed
VHS £12.99
Film Description 'The first full-length animated film in the history of cinema, the making of Prince Achmed was an astonishing labour of love, taking three years and 300,000 camera shots to make. A pioneer of silhouette animation, Lotte Reineger created all the characters and cut out every singe silhouette herself, and the frames were colour tinted by hand. The result is an enchanting film which still stands as one of the greatest classics of animation - delicate, lively, inventive, poetic and action-packed.' A magical adventure taken from The Arabian Nights.
Film Information

Review by Dave Butcher on 18th October 2001 The first cut out, clip out, sihouette film ever made. The 1926 forerunner of the cartoon, hte effects, atmosphere and colours have to be seen to be believed. A truly enchanting work. View more reviews by Dave Butcher
