Stop motion dolls
some animation
sexually suggestive
My daughter was NOT happy I was watching "Hearts and Flowers" on TV tonight. She kept saying things like "that's so creepy!" and "I don't like any part of this!"...and many other choice things I won't mention here! And, after seeing it, I certainly can't say that I blame her!
This short from Vitaphone is essentially a stop-motion silent movie with a soundtrack playing the old song "Hearts and Flowers" and there are no sound effects.
The story involves two creepy stop-motion puppets trying to make time with the same creepy girl puppet. All this is done on a set where the backgrounds are all painted. Occasionally, it's kind of cute....mostly it's just creepy and nightmare fodder. Yes, the dolls are THAT creepy!!
So is this worth watching? Well, if you like weird old films, certainly. Or, you could play it for someone you'd like to traumatize! Not especially well made and certainly a curiosity!!
