Miaou! - Le Roman de Renard - Ladislas Starevitch

[@vivir339]

I’m still blown away by the fact that this film was completed in 1930. This animation still holds up as some of the best stop motion I’ve seen.

[@kdawg7736]

This truly is a great work of art.

[@ЖовохирАй]

Hahaha when I was 15 I would watch the film just for this part- now I'm 18 thank god some one uploaded a clip.

[@baptiste6875]

Me too, the first time I watched it (a few months ago), I was 15 years old (like today !).

[@AnimationandMore3009]

This is the third animated movie in the world! I'm surprised for how fluent the movements are.

[@DrZaius75]

The fluidity of the animation is astounding.

[@littlelionman05]

Ikr?!

[@nolem5417]

Especially for the time it came out. It’s almost as if the puppets are animatronic.

[@CultureJudge]

Masterpiece, such a strong, dark, witty fable - puts all of Western cute-animal animation films to shame. Plus, there are some technical aspects of his animation that remain, to me, quite unfathomable - and which one sees in no other stop-motion anywhere. One of which is the amazing blurred-motion effect he achieves at times (like when the cat jumps up here), which looks like real-time movement, but can't be, because of other ongoing stop-motion elements in the shot.

[@BetamaxFlippy]

I suspect that's more of a problem with suspending the characters in mid-air which would force them to use supporting rigs that can't be hidden from the camera view. Today the trick is very easy, all you need to do is to have a photo of the unpopulated set so that the rig can be canceled out without ruining the background. I suppose that back then they had this blurring effect because the puppets were suspended in mid-air with very thin wires that wouldn't work for a steady shot so instead they move the character slightly right when the frame is photographed and mask it as an attempt of realistic picture blur, convenient and practical. Anyway that's just an intuition of mine, I may be totally wrong.

[@DAMN_ITS_GOT_SPOTS_ON_THE_TOP]

@@BetamaxFlippy You sure are brilliant to have figured that out, and I'll bet that you're right, too.

The King decrees that from that day on all the creatures of his kingdom shall live in peace and brotherly love... and become vegetarians! No longer will predators eat their prey, no longer will prey live in fear of being eaten. In the second scene the crafty Fox sings a love song to the Queen, singing "I love only Thee, Meow, Meow!" A truly magical story.

Vladislav Starevich (August 8, 1882 - February 26, 1965), born Władysław Starewicz (Russian: Владисла́в Алекса́ндрович Старе́вич), was a Russian and French stop-motion animator who used insects and other animals as his protagonists. (His name can also be spelled Starevitch, Starewich and Starewitch.) .... people READ MORE

[@IzzyPrime]

Sad, but beautiful

[@slonique]

@sialababamak537 @sialababamak537 Of course he could have been born in Poland) But he was born and raised in Moscow. Frankly, I don't care what nationality he was. After all it was France that became his home. But thank you, I will add to the description a reference to his Polish descent.

[@Mr.G_Rattlesnake]

Brilliant

[@84tubbs18]

From Dutch folklore completed in France in 1930 Reynard the fox, Starewicz's model realistic animals they had trouble adding the sound in the new age of animation but funding came first from Nazi funding a German dub and premiered in Berlin in 1937 ain't that about a bitch, but later released in Franch in 1941. The Dutch, French story was printed by William Caxton in the 15th century later adopted by a motherfather named Luxembourg titling the book (Renert the Fox) in 1872.

this is wonderful, really, and this might be a bit of an obscure remark but there may have some relationship with Vivian Stanshall's theme for Sir Henry at Rawlinson End.

@sialababamak537 Fair enough, yes, he was Pole) But he was born in Moscow, he lived and worked in Russia until 1917.

I wish he was known and appreciated in Russia at least nowadays ( but he is still not.

He made most of his movies in France, and being of Polish Catholic descent, his work was quickly suppressed by communist authorities. At least you always had Ptushko to enjoy!

Is it a real song or just for the animation?

[@sialababamak537]

@slonique He couldn't be born in Poland because Poland was re-established in 1918. But because there was no polish state it doesn't mean there was no Poles.

Tu sais bien que je t'aime, miaou, miaou!! I've read Ladislas used dead animals for the animations.. I wonder if the singer cat is a real one :(

[@littlelionman05]

Nope, dead animals would be very impractical with studio lights and it would smell absolutly horrible. Also, some animals would be too big for the set (which was kinda small)

[@sinisterteaser4464]

Dead meat is not useful under hot lights for the days at a time this sort of work demands. Models are easy to make, and are more practical. Fur might be real, as well as the insects...

He made a lot of movies using insect shells. Check out The Cameraman's Revenge.
