This is an inspired approach to feature animation - use under-appreciated public domain music for the soundtrack and adapt a traditional story. Let the resources you can find and afford lead and inspire your creativity. With that formula, you have a starting point for creating a feature film singlehandedly. All you need is time, dedication and talent, which Nina Paley obviously has in spades. This is really a way forward for independent animators. Brava Nina!

I love love love Annette Hanshaw and am so happy about this film being made!

very clever, and she did the whole thing almost all by her self! bet her husband feels stupid now that everyone else knows she's awesome now

So "ain't Disney" and makes it very charming. Love the blend of music and art work. Top notch -- hope it wins an award or two at Tribeca - Patrick in London

Cute designs! Great synthesis of historic western pop music, eastern comsology, and very original art. Well done, Nina.

Smooth as Maria Muldaur in Cambridge silk sinking with the Ceylon Jug band. Arthur C.'s schlock rocket jockstrap bloody on the floor....EASE.

I was floored when I met Nina a few years ago, and I discovered she was using the music of Annette Hanshaw for her work. Anette Hanshaw is one of those forgotten singers of the late 20s-early 30s, who should be remembered. Bravo, Nina! You rock. This is wonderful.
