Description

2007? "The Hare and the Tortoise." DVD of a black-and-white film by Encyclopedia Britannica Films in 1947. In collaboration with Grace Storm. Length 10:22 minutes. Distributed by the University of Alabama. From Lake Orion, MI, through Ebay. April, '08.

I may well have seen this film when I was in early grade school. It is a photographic video with narration, using largely posed animal footage. The tortoise can stand the rabbit's boasting no longer. The owl asks the fox to lay out a difficult course, and we watch its key points, including the hollow log and the creek. The tortoise plops more than once along the way. The hare's friend the raccoon awakens him, just a little too late. Unfortunately, the film cuts off in the middle of the pronouncement of the moral! It is curious that the DVD producers reverse the title of the film on their DVD.
