I used to watch these in Cuba as a child back in the 50s, and I've been looking for them all over the place!

I remember these silhouette films being shown on the BBC on Children's Television in the 1950s. They were enchanting and they are still. I showed them to the small children next door and they loved them. The one I particularly like to see again is "Rumpelstiltskin"

Thank You for posting;

The 'CH' as a double consonant is sometimes pronounces as an 'S' sound, but all you needed to do was 'copy' the way it's spelt from the motion picture title frame, to give your work a professional look.

Thank you, was a mistake, sorry.

[12Zwolf]

Thank You!, and to be sure, the English language is highly individualized in the reading, and pronunciation of certain words because the accurate ancient letters/diacritical marks have been replaced by the allegedly 'modern' lettering system; click over to 'wikipedia', and check-out 'runes' an ancient Nordic lettering system; also look at 'ancient Greek', and 'ancient Latin' lettering pronunciation systems to help clarify the modern English reading/pronunciation systems.

Beautiful, I had seen only photos, never an animated piece. Totally inspired.

Thanks for share.

I am 58 years old and I never thought I'd see this again. I watched this on a black and white TV when I was a boy of only 10 years old. 10 cudos
