It's wonderful the Germans made such a great movie. Here is the evidence that a great animation doesn't need special effects to make a fabulous story.

I have begun to look into old stop motion animation and this is still one of my favourite movies I have seen. The animation is a bit weird at first, but the way the shapes and movements are utilised brings this whole story to life. The story itself is interesting to watch, though maybe even a bit confusing at times, but on a second watch it is definitely better. It is a silent film but the soundtrack adds so much to the film that you almost forget that there is no dialogue. Definitely one of my favourite parts of the film. I would recommend this to anyone interested in stop motion, or just enjoys watching older films.

The oldest surviving feature-length animated film, directed by Lotte Reiniger. Another film adapted from the Arabian Nights (I just watched Thief of Bagdad earlier in the week), this is notable primarily for its use of silhouetted stop-motion animation, using handcrafted cutouts with a beautiful, astounding level of detail.
