Fairytales in French cinema

Pictures from "Princes et Princesses", a 2000 animated fairytale movie by Michel Ocelot. This movie originally was a television series called "Ciné Si" and released in 1989, but Michel Ocelot later decided to compile six of the eight episodes into one full-length movie. This movie is an anthology of fairytales from around the world, retold in various settings ranging from fantasy to science-fiction. This movie (and the series before it) is most notable for actually being a shadow-puppet production, paying homage to the works of Lotte Reiniger.

Sleeping Beauty Spring: "The Sleeping Beauty" (1954 silhouette animated short)

Lotte Reiniger, whose career spanned from the 1920s through the 1970s, was one of animation's great pioneers. Her delicately beautiful silhouette animation, a form of stop-motion that she created by backlighting flat cutouts of paper or wood, was some of the first animation used to tell serious stories rather than just for comedy. Her 1926 film The Adventures of Prince Achmed is the oldest surviving full-length animated feature, predating Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs by more than a decade. Over the course of her long career, she made two versions of Sleeping Beauty: one in 1922 in her native Germany, which is apparently lost, and this 10-minute short from 1954, which she produced in London after relocating there.

Despite being British-made, The Sleeping Beauty reflects Reiniger's German origins by following the Grimms' version of the tale, with only a few light embellishments. It opens with the King and Queen overjoyed by the birth of their daughter, Princess Beauty, and planning a celebration. But they find that they own just twelve golden dishes, so one of the kingdom's thirteen fairies goes uninvited. The next day, messengers venture out into nature to invite the fairies – beautiful, floating female figures in wispy dresses and with flowers and leaves in their hair, who sit on flowers or tree branches. At the castle, they accordingly give the baby princess their gifts. But far away, a tiny dragon-like creature informs the thirteenth fairy – a witch-like figure with a long nose and chin, clad in a spiky dress, and associated with thistles – that a feast is taking place without her. She promptly flies to the castle and curses Beauty to prick her finger and die on her fifteenth birthday. But the small, young Rose Fairy softens the curse to a hundred-year sleep. Nonetheless, the King orders all spindles destroyed, and his soldiers are shown taking spindles from weeping peasant women in town.

Fifteen years later, on her birthday, Princess Beauty is wandering in the garden, when she discovers a strange tower a short distance from the castle. From the window, an old woman beckons her. It is, of course, the thirteenth fairy in disguise; Beauty finds her spinning with a drop spindle and sits down to try it herself, only to prick her finger. When she falls asleep, the rest of the court instantly falls asleep too, and majestic snake-like briars surround the castle.

A hundred years later, the Prince discovers the castle, and an old shepherd tells him the legend of Beauty. When he approaches the castle, the thorns part, and he soon discovers the tower where Beauty sleeps in her chair. He kisses her, the spell is broken, Beauty joyfully introduces her Prince to her parents, and the final image shows the outside of the castle as the briars magically vanish.

Like most of Lotte Reiniger's films, this short is silent, but with a male narrator telling the story in voiceover. But while the tale is simply told, the visuals make this version stand out. The delicate beauty of Reiniger's silhouette world, with fluid animation and with intricate details of leaves, flowers, clothing, and Gothic architecture standing out despite the medium of black cardboard cutouts, is perfectly suited to a fairy tale. These visuals are perfectly complimented by the gentle, delicate musical score of Freddie Phillips.

Short and silent though it is, this lovely Sleeping Beauty is a must-see for anyone who loves fairy tale adaptations and uniquely captivating animation.

Inspirations behind Shared Beauty - Lotte Reiniger

I've always loved the dark twists behind the original fairy tales and their whimsical nature. And through that love was our game "Shared Beauty" born! And here I want to show one of the inspirations for it.

Today I'm gonna talk about Lotte Reiniger's animations.

Her films are one of the oldest and she worked on more than 40 films throughout her career!

It always amazed me that she immerses you into these whimsical worlds with these delightful papercut animations, in which their gestures are so important to tell the story. And look at the details she cuts!! I can only recommend this short documentary about her and her work progress!

You can see her influence in our background art, for which we decided to go with a monochrome silhouette based art style.

I had such fun watching her films while working on our game.

From where do you guys take inspirations from? Other creators like Lotter Reiniger? Friends? History? I would love to hear about!
