Twice Upon a Time

(1983)Directed by John Korty, Charles Swenson73 min · PGAnimation, Comedy, Adventure, Fantasy
“The funniest heroes you'll ever meet... They came. They saw. They screwed up.”

In the Murkworks, where nightmares are made, Synonamess Botch (Marshall Efron) schemes to flood the world with non-stop bad dreams. Ralph, the All-Purpose Animal (Lorenzo Music), a misfit from the cheery land of Frivoli, is one of the only two who can stop him. Korty and Swenson animate it with paper cut-outs moved across a light table, a method they called Lumage, so every frame glows like stained glass.
