Puppets. and music. and the well known story. the grace, the seductive way for translate in images the tale. and something easy to define as...magic. because you expect discover the accuracy. and it is present. the solution for ressurect the universe imagined by Oscar Wilde. and it is present. in each detail. the dialogue between prince and the little swallow. and it remains moving . but something new is present. a state, a feeling, an emotion. who defines the short film as magic. and propose a sort of fresh air. against the small errors ( the first -the golden leaf used not exactly in wise way in this adaptation ).

Fairytale + Melody = More Musical!!

Some of the operatic musical animated puppets are extremely perfect and thus, it's a great story and they sing in a beat like this one. The Prince's operatic voice is beautiful because it tells his past about his palace walls that the sorrow is not allowed and a Swallow's fantastic voice tells about the Egypt, the Prince ask him to be his messenger to pick the precious jewels and the gold leaf to give to the poor people, but his sapphire eyes are gone but he's only a statue and he can do nothing (because he had a good heart for the little Swallow). It's lovely to hear their voices and it's pretty, I'm sure about the adaptation, storytelling and magic because of a rhythm of music.

  • I used to watch this before on YT but...It was gone but I hope this animation will return sooner.
