Euro cartoons
I just watched some animated shorts on "Kino Polska", a channel which specialises in Polish movies, especially old classics. The one that caught my eye was "Siódemka w krainie dziwolągów" (pl. "Number Seven in the Land of Freaks"), which was about a sailor caught in the Bermuda Triangle, who is transported to a land where instead of noses and ears everybody has trumpets. The land is ruled by a freakish batwinged class of freaks, who put our brave sailor before a kafkaesque court, where he has no way to defend himself against the tyranical rule of the head freak. He is executed by way of a potion, who turns him into a freak like them, though he manages to escape the guards and, with the help of a plane, finds a potion which turns all the batwinged black freaks into regular, colour, peace-loving freaks, after which he is transported back to his ship exiting the Triangle.
Now, if this sounds simple and straightforward, it's only because you have me to translate the visuals into a coherent story, because this thing is what would happen if the people from the Zelda CDi games met up with Ralph Bakshi. It is way too fast to even spot the visual gags and the whole epic is something like 15 minutes long. The visuals though are pretty trippy and fun. I wish I could find some screencaps to show you guys.
