Noah's Animals

About This Movie

Noah's Animals is an interesting entry into the realm of animated specials from the mid-70s. It presents a unique take on the classic biblical story, focusing on the animals aboard the Ark. The tone is quite whimsical, with a mix of lighthearted moments and some surprisingly thoughtful themes about coexistence and survival. The animation itself is quite distinct for its time, featuring practical effects that create an engaging atmosphere, though it might feel a bit dated by today’s standards. It's the first in a trilogy, which is notable since the follow-ups expand on this peculiar universe, making it a curious watch for those interested in animation history and religious storytelling.

Noah's Animals has a somewhat elusive presence in collector circles, primarily due to its limited release and the obscurity of its director. As the first part of a trilogy, it's often sought after by those interested in animated adaptations of biblical stories. The scarcity of original prints and its distinct animation style keep the interest alive among collectors, making it a curious piece for those who appreciate niche animated works from the 1970s.
