A charming little stop-motion picture, that sadly seems to have been mostly forgotten despite being an award winning film. The puppetry is almost beautiful enough to make up for the lackluster and incoherent story, but not quite. Despite that, I don't at all feel it was a waste to watch, as it feels exactly like a story that would be told, and a puppet show that would've been made, in the time the film takes place in. As mentioned above, the story is mostly incoherent and harder to follow than most, but the style its told in, and the art of the puppetry makes it interesting nonetheless,and I don't think it warrants a negative, or even average score.

All in all, is it worth it? If you're into experimental, odd, artistic, or historical stuff? Probably yeah.
