The Lion and the Song
(1959)
Directed by Bretislav
Pojar this is an animated short film with musical accompaniment. A
travelling musician plays for some animals then gets his instrument
eaten by a hungry lion.
It is very easy to see
this short as an allegory for living under a totalitarian regime and
how the culture, in this case music, will stifle and out last
oppression. Short but undeniably enjoyable this film is well worth a
watch. The animation style is not revolutionary but is very cute.
4/5
