That is freaky, just last week i remembered this film and was checking its availabiltiy on Amazon etc. i seem to remember seeing it as a kid - i think it may have been one of those Czechoslavakian animation series you used to get. Ruddy spooky film for kids i reckon - didn't know what the hell was going on, would love to see this again. Will get the DVD i soon.

May I also recomend Bingo (ignore the lascivious ads, that was the only reference I could find) an animation by Chris Landreth who also made the spectacular Ryan animation about a Montreal animator that now lives on welfare (here is the source page).

Yes, sure, it has been used for a commercial too, when I was a kid...

I've always liked it a lot.
