Tale of How

     What a wacky film. I felt like my brain was being poisoned while I watched that. However, at the same time, I was interested in it.
      The music was pretty, though creepy, and it was all this long story-song. I kinda liked it.
      The story itself, though, I'm unsure of. I couldn't always understand what the singers were singing, so I didn't get the whole story, but what I did understand was original, atleast. Birds that lived on an island? or were they living on the monster? and then the mouse came and saved them from the monster. It was a true fairytale, for sure. "True fairytale" is my family's term for a story that reminds you of one of those old fairytales in which things happened without a rational motive or explanation. "The Princess and the Pea" is like, the ultimate true fairytale. So, I appreciate the true fairytale aspect of The Tale of How.
      BUT, what's the point of making a story like this? Pure entertainment, I guess. I also think the Blackheart Gang just likes to make their audience say, "What the heck?" So, if you're willing to spend your time and money giving little kids nightmares and making adults say "What the heck?" then this film should inspire you. If you like unusual but good quality music, then this film should inspire you. If you don't like three-headed birds, run away.   
      Interestingly, The Tale of How is the second in the Dodo Trilogy. There is also The Tale of Then and The Tale of When. I'm not sure if the whole trilogy has been released yet.
