I like collecting and tinkering with vintage stuff from the late 70's & 80's. Star Wars stuff, Computers, Synthesisers, Vehicles. I also like the idea of Bluesky, and the web becoming decentralised and DIY again. Isle of Wight, UK

This film was a key reference point for Hayao Miyazaki, and a favorite film of his around the time of The Castle of Cagliostro

The Adventures of Prince Achmed is the earliest animated feature that survives today. It's from 1926 -- and it's a masterpiece.
Director Lotte Reiniger and her team set out to make a movie unlike any other, and they succeeded. We tell the story:

This and hoth leia were the only two star wars figures that I actually bought new in a shop. My Nan bought them for me when we went to her local corner shop. Must have been clearance items as it was probably 1986
Ride into work this morning was a bit snowy. Glad I took the Tauntaun
