Benny's Bathtub. by Quist, Flemming,film director.; Hastrup, Jannik,film director.; Jakobsen, Bo,actor.; Klein, Jesper,actor.; Abildstrøm, Jytte,actor.; Hauch-Fausbøll, Jytte,actor.; Brandenburg, Otto,actor.; Belli, Peter,actor.; Krogh, Rolf,actor.; Deaf Crocodile Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Bo Jakobsen, Jesper Klein, Jytte Abildstrøm, Jytte Hauch-Fausbøll, Otto Brandenburg, Peter Belli, Rolf KroghOriginally produced by Deaf Crocodile Films in 1971.How can you not love a psychedelic animated kids’ film in which a young boy, bored with the dreary and gray Adult World, follows an enchanted tadpole into his bathtub – where he discovers a surreal and musical undersea world?? Populated by singing (and barely dressed) Mermaids, a funky hepcat Octopus and whiskey-drinking Skeleton Pirates, the underwater kingdom is the grooviest scene this side of YELLOW SUBMARINE, with helpings of Dr. Seuss, Sid & Marty Krofft and Harry Nilsson’s THE POINT thrown in. (Danish kids’ entertainment in the early 1970s was truly outtasite!) In addition to the candy-colored, kaleidoscopic visuals, the film is famed for its incredibly addictive soundtrack featuring Jazz heavyweights of Copenhagen circa 1970, with vocals sung by the cream of Danish late 60s Pop and Rock on tracks like “Octopussong/ Blækspruttesangen" and "seahorsesong/ Søhestesangen". Considered a national treasure in Denmark where it was selected for the country’s Cultural Canon alongside works by Carl Th. Dreyer, Isak Dinesen and Hans Christian Andersen, BENNY’S BATHTUB has been beautifully restored from the original camera negative and sound elements by Fiasco Film for its first-ever U.S. release by Deaf Crocodile.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Visitors from the Arkana Galaxy. by Vukotic, Dusan,film director.; Samardzic, Ljubisa,actor.; Zulová, Lucie,actor.; Potocnjak, Zarko,actor.; Deaf Crocodile Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Ljubisa Samardzic, Lucie Zulová, Zarko PotocnjakOriginally produced by Deaf Crocodile Films in 1981.Imagine if Troma Films had been hired to make a Sid & Marty Krofft Saturday morning kids’ show, and if you have some idea of the unspeakable strangeness of VISITORS FROM THE ARKANA GALAXY, a truly gonzo Croatian sci-fi / fantasy about a struggling writer, Robert (Zarko Potocnjak), who dreams up a story of gold-skinned alien androids named Andra, Targo and Ulu from a distant planet. Incredibly, his fictional alien creations become reality, causing chaos in his relationship with his girlfriend Biba (Lucie Zulová) and threatening his small seaside village. The alluring lead robot Andra (Ksenia Prohaska) looks like H.R. Giger re-designed the Maschinenmensch from Fritz Lang’s Metropolis; watch for the scene where she pours hot coffee and cream out of her fingertips. But for sheer jawdropping insanity, nothing rivals the Mumu Monster -- created for the film by legendary Czech animator Jan Svankmajer -- a rubber-suited, multi-tentacled creation that destroys a wedding party, ripping off heads and spouting plumes of toxic green smoke while a blind accordion player blithely plays his squeezebox. Visitors was a rare feature film from animator Dusan Vukotic (1927-1998), best known for his stunning UPA-style cartoon shorts including “Cow On The Moon” (1959) and the Oscar-winning “The Substitute” (1961).Mode of access: World Wide Web.
