Walt Disney - Noah's Ark (1/2) - 1959

Part 1 of 2.

The well-known biblical tale is brought to life as a stop-motion musical, which feels more like Rankin/Bass's specials in the medium than a Disney production, only it's more stylized. Noah is advised by a heavenly voice that a great rainstorm is coming which will wipe out most of Earth's inhabitants. So he and his three sons build a boat to precise specifications and begin rounding up two animals of every kind, plus of course, their own women. When the lengthy time on the boat brings spirits down, Noah's sons provide some music to cheer everyone up. Interestingly, household items are used to create the characters; the whooping cranes have pencil beaks, corks are abound, and the moose's antlers are really sporks. This is a Disney oddity, if ever there was one, but it offers quite a fun time.

God's miracles are not questionable. The fact that you breath, you wake up every morning after a long night of sleep, its a miracle already. If you just open your heart you will understand because God lives in our hearts.

If you have nothing good to say about God, you better not comment.

Parts do have a Rankin Bass feel where Paul Frees voice is heard. This, though different from much of Disney's output, is well-executed, with the exception of parts where you see the figure's shadow in the sky background.

Lol, do you honestly think God cares if it is physically possible or not? Also, just because you don't believe in something, does NOT mean that it isn't true or possible. What if I didn't believe that the world was round? Does that mean the world is flat solely based on the fact that I don't think it is round? No.
