***very mild spoiler ahead***
More than three years I had to wait to see this absolute magnificent animation...
I'll explain : after some researches on the title, at this time, the pictures I could find about it on the web seemed really superb... Nevertheless impossible to find in any place where to get/buy/rent (even steal :-) a copy !
So I had to put it in my hoping-to-see/waiting-to-find list...
And finally, miracles happens... Schéhérazade !
Could find one DVD quality specimen, two days ago... The more than 1001 days I had to wait where worth the trip !
I suppose this animation was "hand made painting" on a celluloid support, an incredible long work, but as far my knowledge in this technical field is equivalent to 0, this point is fairly a guess...
Though the animation is a dark side fairy tale,a tough one, not for kids... I loved it ! So colorful and beautifully made and told, wow, absolutely magnificent... Gorgeous !
And as it is a digression of the original 1001 nights theme, it still offers the positive ending...
Without this back-to-original end, I guess I would have hardly appreciate it.
Me, I prefer this way of thinking... so I can ultimately admire and enjoy this Schéhérazade !
Bravo to Florence Miailhe :-)
NB Schéhérazade is the original French title
