 Description
[Machine Translation] Koji Yamamura's latest work "The Old Crocodile", which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film for "Touzan", is now available on DVD! In addition, "Koji Yamamura Select Animations" (7 works) shown at the same time as "The Old Crocodile" are also included! --A crocodile is so old that he saw a pyramid being built. The crocodile eats his great-grandchildren and is expelled from his clan, and sets out on a journey to find a place to stay. On his journey, he meets an octopus girl who is very kind and brings him food. The hungry crocodile thinks to himself. He thinks to himself, "I could eat at least one of them. The crocodile looks at the octopus sleeping next to him and eats one of her legs every night.... This is the kind of "picture book" animation that Koji Yamamura wanted to make. The world of French fairy tale writer Leopold Chauveau, which he had envisioned for a long time, is depicted in the same gentle and sad way. The world of Chauveau, with its unique sense of irony and surrealism, along with Peter Barakan's tasteful narration, is the challenge of animation artist Koji Yamamura in this ambitious work. In the simple lines and stoic imagery, the playful expressions of the crocodile and octopus are depicted in a cute and sad way. This is a sad story rich in allegory that can be enjoyed by both children and adults, and brings bittersweet tears to the viewer's eyes.
