Two George Pal Puppetoons
Long before legendary Producer-Director George Pal made classics like The War of the Worlds and The Time Machine, he created Puppetoons. Amazing stop-motion animated shorts that thrilled audiences the world over. Now, all can rejoice as Puppetoons not seen in generations are back, fully restored in 4K high definition, from their original Technicolor negatives.
The Gay Knighties (1941) Jim Dandy stars as Sir Archibald Cornwall, a wandering troubadour, who charms a Giant Ogre with his musical lute.
A Hatful of Dreams (1944) Love-struck Punchy obtains a magical hat to win over Judy and transforms into Superman. Considered George Pal's masterpiece Puppetoon.
