Skønheden og dyret (1989)

Beauty and the Beast (1989)

An anonymous reader sent this in to me recently, and I couldn’t be more delighted. This silent, stop-motion version of Beauty and the Beast may well be the most truly romantic version of the tale I’ve ever seen. Tonally, the Beast featured here is the closest I’ve seen to the Villeneuve’s. Visual callbacks to the tale of Persephone and beautiful, subtle acting evoke a world of longing and repressed emotion through the simplest of puppets. Animator Romana Burianova achieves something astonishing, and I recommend any fan of the tale allow themselves a half hour to sink into the beautifully pantomimed world of this gentle, soulful romance.

Meaning Behind URL: I often use Meltintalle as my screen name, but when I joined tumblr the fad was to chose something poetic, or a song lyric, so I went with a translation. Starkindler also happens to be one of my favorite Michael Card songs, so there’s that too!
