    I first saw this when I was five. I didn't know what it was called or anything like that. The dude has haunted me for years while I developed into an amateur writer. One day I'm writing a short story that I got inspired to write when reading folklore on the sandman. My research led me to this animation, only to find that I am back where I started. Spooky.

    The short is based on the story of German 19th century writer Ernst Theodor Hoffmann, who is famous for being the author of the "Nutcracker" fairy tale. This cartoon is based only on the frame legend in the original story about the evil night spirit Sandman, who steals children's eyes. The major bulk of the story deals with a young man, who has an obsessive idea, that his university teacher Coppelius is the living incarnation of Sandman. At the same time he becomes smitten with the beautiful daughter of inventor Spalanzani, without thinking that he slowly comes into the evil powers' trap.

    I was watching almost the entire short, i remember that my sister started screaming when the sandman throws the eyes to the little ones, and she was running to me to cover my eyes. I'm 26 now and i spent my entire life with the fear of the dark until 2 years ago. Cheers from Italy! (Sorry guys, my english is horrible)

    This tape is an adaptation of the even scarier german novel called "Der Sandmann" written by E.T.A Hoffmann. It deals with the border and conflict between rational thinking and pure insanity. This piece is not from the time of expressionism but from the lyrical phase called dark romance or horror romance. The novel is mezmerizing through its mental terror.

    Sadly Paul Berry, who created this amazing, albeit dark and disturbing film, passed away in 2001 from a brain tumour. He worked on films like Nightmare before Christmas, the classic tv show the wind in the willows.
    Poor guy, he obviously had an immense amount of talent.
    It says more in 9 minutes, and is scarier in 9 minutes, than most Hollywood horror movies even attemp to be. Great little film. Had not heard of it until a few weeks back.

    I'm so glad I've found this again. I saw it once years ago and it just occurred to me to try to find it here. It is superb! Stop motion animation has always, to me, seemed quite creepy. Even Camberwick Green gave me the creeps now and again e.g. when the character froze to go back inside the music box. Then there were those Public Information Films of the 70s in the UK about road safety (with Tufty Fluffytail the squirrel) and the ones warning about 'stranger danger' with Charlie the cat. So to see the medium used to deliberately make a frightening story is wonderful. There's even a genuine similarity here to the experience of a nightmare. A mini-masterpiece.

    From what I'm aware, the children's story featured a kind and well dressed sandman; who gave children their dreams and used sand only to keep their eyes closed whilst he did so. It was a man called Ernst Hoffman who wrote the inverse story that inspired this short animation.

      Same style. It's a movement called German Expressionism, which existed in film and theatre of early 1920's/1930's Germany, and was also a great influence on Bertholt Brecht. If you want a great example of G.E. in action, then watch The Cabinet of Dr Caligari, a psychological horror film from 1928.

    • @Daniele-Manno
      @Daniele-Manno 5 лет назад +9

      Paul Berry was one of the animators in Nightmare Before Christmas. Actually, The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari came out in 1919. I think Paul Berry's style is akin ti Henry Selick's other than Burton's, although there are similarities with "Vincent" (1982) the earlier "Hansel and Gretel" and the more recent "Frankenweenie remake". Burton, Selick, and possibly Berry, had the same teacher at the animation academy.
