FlemishCatDecember 10, 2025After many years, I re-watched this film again today.
The film still holds up very well. It's delightfully creepy!
It's amazing that after almost two decades, the National Film Board of Canada recently dug up four BTS clips from the archive.
In it, the artists as young men, Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski, speak about their inspiration and technique of this award-winning, Oscar-nominated gem.
You can find them easily by googling "NFB blog + Tutli-Putli."
In 2025, the filmmakers (who are together known as "Clyde Henry") dropped a brand-new film, THE GIRL WHO CRIED PEARLS. Highly recommended if you like spooky over sweet animation.
