thought this story was fascinating, the fact that this movie had been in development for 50+ years and shot 30 years ago just now getting released is intriguing. I haven’t seen the film yet, but I like stop-motion so I’m gonna check it out later tonight.
anyone seen this one yet?
oh yeah I’ve heard of that one as well but never got around to seeing it
