When i was little, I had a tape of Peter and the Wolf and it used to make me shiver a bit. From the images I think that animator Suzie Templeton has really done it justice, although i'd still like to see the stop-motion animation in action. This bbc article has a really interesting interview with her for the run up to the oscars



Apart from my childhood fascination with Peter and the Wolf i think i am mostly drawn to the fabulous textures lend a tactile quality to the sets and characters who as well as a lovely scratchy eastern -european feel to them are incredibly detailed and well observed. It also has that little hint of darkness, of ugliness that make things interesting, in the faces and the eyes.
