Two Stories

About This Movie

So, 'Two Stories' from 1962 is an interesting piece, you know? It's this animated short that intertwines two kids' tales. You've got this duck who, hilariously enough, dozes off while driving a train—definitely a nod to the absurd. Then there's the whiny girl, which feels a bit like a commentary on childhood behavior. The animation style is quite charming, somewhat simplistic but effective, capturing that early 60s vibe. The pacing is laid-back, just enough to keep the little ones engaged. It doesn’t try to be flashy, which is what I appreciate about it. It’s distinct in how it marries humor with a slight moral touch, leaving a quiet but lasting impression.

This short film has had a bit of a mixed history in terms of availability. It was released on various formats but remains somewhat elusive, which adds to its collector appeal. The scarcity of original prints makes it a curiosity for animation enthusiasts. Many collectors seem drawn to its quirky narrative and simple animation style, reflecting the era's charm.
