A Russian animated film directed by Ideya Garanina, based on the original work of Rudyard Kipling.
A cat relates to a child the story of how primitive man met woman and they gathered to themselves animals to be their servants and friends.
This film had the same plot and characters as the "Himself" version, but was 3 times longer, weirder and more psychedelic. There is such a thing as too much style and this film does indeed have too much. The animation is all over the place with stop motion, cartoon and other styles mixing together to create a masterpiece which would best be enjoyed in combination with powerful mind-altering substances. The plot got a little murky because of this and I can't help but think that there was some type of "filler" element involved. If it had been a little more coherent, this would have gotten a better rating. I'm rating it adequate because it was just too desultory.
Image upload is not working right now, so no pictures for this one. Not my fault, so complain to google.
