'The Mascot' (1933) - Ladislas Starevich.

Masterful Polish film fabulist Ladislas Starevich's immaculately fashioned, dazzlingly animated phantasmagoria 'The Mascot' (1934) is a scintillatingly dreamy, darkly delicious delight from stunning stop-motioned start to its fiendishly fabulous finish! 'The Mascot' comes HIGHLY recommended to fans of the eerily atmospheric, visually stimulating film-making of maestro Jan Švankmajer, and the no less exhilarating stop-motion wizardry of the Quay Brothers! Whimsical, sublimely imaginative, and audaciously bizarre, this truly is one of those truly magical, elegiac shorts that ecstatically transports the rigorously revivified imagination into the headiest interior realms wherein infinite creative possibilities are born! Starevich's visionary masterpiece 'The Mascot' is not only a timeless, immensely beguiling fantasy it should also prove to be a profoundly inspirational experience to anyone with an ounce of poetry in their soul!
