Jack and the Beanstalk, Lotte Reiniger (1955)

I think this animation is really like what I watched when I was a child. It is very dreamy and fantastic. There are very strong contrasts between the characters and the background. The characters are black shadows. You can’t see their face and clothes, but the background is very colorful. The characters are moving in the animation, but the background is still. The contrasts make the animation more interesting and have stronger story emotions. Even though I can’t see the character’s facial expressions, I still can feel their emotions and feelings through their actions and movements. The background music is also very good. It makes the animation more vivid and lively. I think the good animation always tell a good story. This animation also has its own theme. I like this animation work.
