Tell Tale Heart Animation

The Tell-Tale Heart is a wonderful animated short film of 1953 based on Edgar Allan Poe short-story. The story told by a mad man has a dark visual with a perfect work of narration by James Mason. It is a UPA Production and was the first cartoon to be X-rated (adults only) in Great Britain under the British Board of Film Censors classification system. Really great - you have to see it.

James Mason read it so splendidly in his marvelous voice.

I think the old man's like his roomate (or, possibly, relative) and he killed him because his eye was bugging him.

I once watched this in my elementary school. We were learning about scary stories like this one. It frightened me a bit, for the animation looked like a dream that you or I had similar to this.

Whyd he kill the old man in the first place? And hiw does he even knkw the old man.

Check out a film called An Evening with Edgar Allan Poe. It was made in 1972 I believe and is just Vincent Price reading Poe stories, including this one.
