The Old Man and The Sea


This is the first episode in a new Soul Story Hour segment, Soul Story Animation. Animation will be highlighted because like radio or internet, animation is a great way to communicate a story.

Today's Animation entitled, The Old Man and The Sea, animated by famous Russian animator, Alexandr Petrov, tells Ernest Hemingway's timeless classic using a very special paint-on-glass technique. The beauty of this film is indescribable. It is a shame that the quality of the film is so poor, but hey, these are the tools we are working with. If you want a real copy, hit up your public library. For now though, I suggest you grab some popcorn and enjoy the show!
