News: Martin Klasch reaches 100.000!

Video: Two times Night at Bald Mountain
Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky's orchestral tone poem Night at Bald Mountain was spun around an ancient Russian legend of a witches' sabbath. The piece was completed in 1867. An impressive animation in pinscreen technique interpreting the music was made in 1933 by Alexander Alexeïeff & Claire Parker. (Via Coisas do arco da velha)
As early as in the 1880s Rimsky-Korsakov did editorial work on Night at Bald Mountain and thus made it more successful and the music track heard in Disney's Night at Bald Mountain sequence from Fantasia (1940) is even more adapted.

Blog: Musselsoppans Vänner Updated
Martin Klasch's sister blog Musselsoppans Vänner was updated the other day with a new large batch of nice and/or interesting pictures picked from around internet and from scanned images. Have a look, why don't you!
PS. Once again thanks to all blogs from where many pictures has been taken. As usual only a few has been credited but most can be found in the sidebar. The general idea of Musselsoppans Vänner is to be a simple imagedump blog and noting every image source would be far to much work and work against that idea. I hope this is alright with you all.
Animation: De Fabeltjeskrant
De Fabeltjeskrant (Eng: "The Fables Newspaper", Swe: "Fablernas värld") is a classic Dutch children's TV-show made during the periode 1968 and 1992. (I believe there was a big gap in the production from the mid 70s to 1985. Correct me if I'm wrong). The show was shown in many countries in western Europe and in South America and is probably the must successful show in Dutch history. Many of the fables were adaptations of the writings of French 17th century fabulist Jean de la Fontaine.
