The Mascot (1933)
10/10
Orange you glad about it?
5 January 2017
Probably Władysław Starewicz's most creative short, "Fétiche" ("The Mascot" in English) pulls out all the stops. It depicts a stuffed dog who gets more than he bargained for when he tries to find a girl an orange. Part live-action, part stop-motion, it shows that you don't need a high budget or a lot of equipment to make a good story. I like Starewicz's works a lot more than these animated features starring the celebrities of the moment.

I'd say that Starewicz's works grew more interesting after he moved to France. They turned more surreal and in-your-face. The fact remains that just about anything can be art. You're sure to love this one.
