Mysterious Mose

Check out this YouTube link: Mysterious Mose. Directed by Seamus Walsh and Mark Caballero, it’s a pitch-perfect throwback to 70′s-era stop motion and puppetry, and something I definitely would have watched as a kid. If I didn’t know better I’d fully believe if you told me it was from an episode of The Hilarious House of Frightenstein. Be sure to check out more of their work here, including a gorgeous stop-motion Flintstones promo for Cartoon Network, and their Annie Award-winning work restoring and completing The Tortoise and the Hair with Ray Harryhausen.

    I suppose you all know this… but be sure to check the 1930 cartoon by the Fleischer brothers with the same song – my personal favorite. There also is a beautiful version of this song by R. Crumb and his band.

    Well—in my opinion, it’s ok. Fun—-but I prefer “The Muppets”. This was kind of like a low budget version of The Muppets meet The Corpse Bride.

    Extremely cool – it was like Tim Burton and Jim Henson combined. This is more light-hearted than Burton’s stuff (which is just plain creepy). Great stuff and cool use of color!
