I just came across this. Does anyone else remember it? The Singing Ringing Tree. A very, very weirdly-done fairytale from, I think, East Germany. I don't think I've seen it since I was about 6, at my grandparents' house that Christmas. It scared the living daylights out of me then, and I've never forgotten its peculiar atmosphere (or the evil dwarf). Strange seeing bits of it again after all this time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wijRu_jl9HU |

martle,
all my life I have had lodged in my brain the image of a badly-intentioned dwarf, standing in the branch of a tree, shaking it angrily with with the intention of bringing woe to some unfortunate he was hounding, and although it is not in this clip, I think it almost has to be from this film, as scene where she rescues the fish from the ice and the bear princess-kidnapping, were passive memories that were awoken the moment I saw them in this clip.
What is so disorientating is that it's in colour, because my memory of seeing it on British tv in about 1967 is so firmly set in black-and-white. I found this film very frightening indeed.
Anyway, thanks for posting this, as until now I had no idea which film my memory might have come from.

Daniel - yes, black and white in my memory too! I forgot to say that. I bet we saw it the same year.  And there's a website! Doh. Of course there is. http://uk.geocities.com/singringtree/gf/c12.jpg |

Being the parent of half-German offspring as I am, I have seen that film on DVD approximately 400 times in the past year or two. I don't find it quite as scary as I did in the sixties, possibly because I now recognise the electronic sounds on the soundtrack as issuing from a Trautonium.
