MartinHafer If I saw this stop-motion film today, I probably wouldn't be all that impressed--especially since director Co Hoedeman's later works are so much better (such as the adorable and high quality Ludovic films). However, for 1972, it's a very nice film that compares nicely to the works of other stop-motion artists of the time, such as Jan Svankmajer.The film was made using children's blocks. However, a few of the blocks were hand-colored in order to make little boy and girl blocks. As they appeared to move, blocks were seamlessly replaced--making the legs appear to move up and down. As for the story, there's a dragon and the children are afraid.Not an especially deep story and I must admit it's not the type of film I like. However, every artist needs to start somewhere and this led to many wonderful later products. Plus, if you like Hoedman's work, it's interesting to see where it all started.
