On song


The Nightingale's Voice (1923)

Directed by Wladyslaw Staewicz this film stars Nina Star. A young girl captures a nightingale and keeps it as a pet.

Taking a simple fable and combining live action with stop motion this is an excellent early film. The colours take the film to a new level and give it some real charm. Very enjoyable, this is one the best examples of early animation you will come across.

5/5
