This is my favourite Disney movie. The backgrounds are detailed and stylised like a series of medieval tapestries. The intergration of the characters in what look like the best sets ever designed for a semi-swashbuckling musical/comedy/thriller is stunning.

'The Mechanical Man ' is a rather rare Italian silent science-fiction/ horror movie that is a curisoity more that anything else. 'The Headless
Horseman' is a much better item but hardly a classic athough it does have
a suitably dream like atmos.
