Daughter of the Moon

About This Movie

So, 'Daughter of the Moon' from 1983 is this intriguing piece that blends drawing animation with the ethereal music of the band Zelda, which is pretty fascinating. The vibe is quite otherworldly, capturing a dreamy essence that feels both personal and abstract. The pacing is fluid, allowing the visuals to breathe while syncing with the music in a way that draws you in rather than pushing you out. What stands out here is how the animation feels almost like a visual diary; it’s intimate, reflective. You can see the creator’s affection for Zelda’s music in every frame. Definitely one of those rare finds that speaks to the passion behind indie animation in the early '80s.

Daughter of the Moon is somewhat elusive on the collector’s market. Its niche appeal, tied to both animation enthusiasts and fans of Zelda, has made original prints rather scarce. There’s a bit of a cult following for this piece, especially among those who appreciate experimental animation from the period. The limited release and unique artistic style mean it often piques the interest of serious collectors looking for something different.
