- Wonderfully narrated by Robert Hardy, this elaborate stop-motion animation is a literal recitation of Robert Browning's original poem "The Pied Piper of Hamelin" (published 1842).
"For children of all ages, a beloved tale comes to life in a splendid production that highlights the art of the puppeteer. Against an imaginative medieval background, the story of the Piper who rids the town of Hamlin of its rats plays out complete with the town's betrayal and the Piper's unique revenge. An enchanting tale for every family's pleasure."
There’s something about the intro to this that gives me such a sad nostalgic sting, like I’m an older man looking back on his life and missing a place he used to visit in his childhood
Your nostalgic for 13th century west Germany?

@@jamestaylor5341you revel in the fact you’re ignorant and uneducated? It’s obvious what he means, sorry your 70IQ doesn’t let you grasp basic stuff.
Saw this as a kid and it really stuck with me. Very happy to find it again.
I remember when I see this doll movie of the story The pied piper of Hamelin.This is a outstanding movie who is by all exspectations.
This is a work of art. Eerie.. mystical... nostalgic...old world in tone...like something I would have seen sick at my grandmothers house home from school as a tot
As a fairy tale adaptation should be.
1980s: kid friendly
2020s: nightmare fuel
We're wimps now
@@cafeAmericano school shootings and terrorist attacks will do that.
It was nightmare fuel in the 80s too - there's a reason why this was the only Cosgrove Hall production that was never repeated...
This and Jiří Barta's Krysař are the best versions I've seen of the Pied Piper.
I do love the freak show that is the jirí Barta version
Omg yessss Jiri Barta’s version is metal as all hell
Kinda gave me Cronenburg vibes towards the end tbh
A+ video!
LOVE IT! It's such a masterpiece, what a blessing!
Happy Total Eclipse Day!
25:03 I'm literally in tears because I know what it's like to have to struggle while all the other kids had it easy.
Easy? Those kids never knew the beauty of a effort sweat, the joy of sadness, and the ultimate reward of growing up. The lame kid was lucky, he will grow old, and become wise with the suffering and tribulations it'll grant us.
I get what you're saying Hardcore Bunny. I'm 39 now and I learned a great deal since I saw this in 1989
@@manfromthehorizon3870 I agree there is a terrific moral lesson in this.
Robert Browning was on the right side in the Corn Laws debate, which divided the country.
So was Thomas Carlyle (on the people's side).
Wordsworth sided with the gentry.
The gentry wanted artificially high cereal prices to make a profit.
The people wanted cheaper food : hence the corn laws 1846.
This gives me legend of Zelda majora’s mask vibes
Check out "dogs" by CUREiosity it has clips of this film its amazing

This feels very reminiscent of CH's Wind in the Willows.
Never make a promise you can't or won't keep
At a certain point in life we discover we're all the crippled boy, we find ourselves left out of the life we thought we were promised, left out of the joys of life that everyone else seemed to have, lost, bereft of hope, with no friends, wondering why we received such a fate.
ESTO ES DE UNA BELLEZA ABSOLUTA, INFINITAS GRACIAS
Strangely this is far from the scariest version of this story lol. I wonder what really became of the children of Hamlin...
They were sacrificed by the piper who was a pagan. It was the day of midsummer. That's the most accurate and logical version, if they weren't harmed surely a few would come back home but no one did, suggesting that they were murdered. I mean it was 130 children and that's a lot.
@@Theocracy8 maybe buy some historians believe they were killed by plague or taken as slaves and so on... I doubt we'll ever know for certain.
@@Theocracy8 The Children's Crusade is also a good theory.
He was an alien. Kids in Africa saw a space ship that was emitting a sound like a flute/pipe. So deffo Aliens
looks like a Rankin and Bass version of the tale
Pied piper of Hamelin is written by Robert browning
This is the creepiest thing ever
Put this on mute and it becomes a Tool music video.
😂
Narrated by the late Robert Hardy (Cornelius Fudge) from the Harry Potter films

I guess Elric likes 'em young.
Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melnibone?
Why did you get rid of |v|agnetoTwo channel? :( It had some videos I liked
I’m glad I didn’t watch this as a child!
Sad!!!
For who?
@@mrfivegold For me, waaa
Ai
Considering the number of children kidnapped and taken underground, this tale is very creepy. Great optics, but the electronic, corny music kind of ruined it for me.
I quite like the music personally... But I think the tale was creepy too
I loved the music which was grounded in medieval styles, with some harmonies reminiscent of German organ music around the time of Martin Luther. A highly intelligent score, something of a rarity these days when anyone who owns a synthesiser can set himself up as a musician!
