Street of Crocodiles

Street of crocodiles is a stop-motion animation short by the Brothers Quay. Street of Crocodiles was originally a short story written by Bruno Schulz. The animators have taken the mood and psychological undertones of the story and used them as inspiration for their creation. It is quite a surreal piece and doesn’t have a traditional narrative instead you have to pay attention to soundtrack and the movement of the characters. The puppets in the film reminded me of the toys in sids house in the original Toy story film you can see the influence that the quay brothers work has had on popular culture through this film an also through films like Alice and Little Otik by Jan Svankmajer.
