The listing, 2 different Claymation Classics fairy tales on VHS video tapes. has ended.
Tapes are in great shape and play very well. Slip covers are in good shape and have a little shelf wear.
This Claymation version of Irving's "Rip Van Winkle" offers a fairly accurate retelling of the legend. What sets it apart, however, is the delightfully complex clay animation. Facial expressions and moods are clearly shown in the animated figures, bringing surprising life to each and every character.
The songs are simple and offer good insight into the story's interpretation.
The film is generally geared towards children, but adults certainly can appreciate the artistry.
This one is definitely worth the purchase as a visual aid to teaching the old tale in most classrooms.
