Kierdel

About This Movie

Kierdel is a curious little gem from '73 that blends animation, comedy, and fantasy in a way that feels both whimsical and introspective. The quirky premise of angels as guardians of humans, returning to a heavenly pasture at day's end, gives it a gentle, dream-like quality. The pacing is laid-back, allowing the viewer to soak in the colorful visuals and the charming, if slightly offbeat, character designs that feel reminiscent of a bygone era of animation. It’s not every day you encounter a film that portrays celestial beings as sheep-like under the watch of a shepherd, creating an atmosphere that’s equal parts surreal and heartwarming. There’s something distinctly unique about its storytelling style, almost like a bedtime story for adults.

Kierdel has had a somewhat elusive presence in the collector's market, with few prints circulating since its initial release. As a lesser-known title, it often gets overlooked, but those who dig deeper appreciate its distinct animation style and storytelling. It's a treasure for collectors who enjoy obscure animated features, especially from the 70s, presenting both a nostalgic charm and an oddball narrative that doesn’t fit neatly into conventional categories.
