The Tell-Tale Heart

Good but all-too-short retelling of the classic horror tale.

Great adaption of the Poe story with great narration by James Mason going from calm to mad, and a visual style that makes the Disney movies of the period look like...well, like Disney movies of the period.

One of my favorite short stories of all time, animated faithful to the original in the German-expressionist style, with James Mason as the mad narrator. Awesome.

Quite simple but you don't need distractions from the great narration.

A great short story with very good narration and nice visual style.

Vividly captures the suspense of Poe's story. One of the all-time great animated shorts.

Mason's narration, the dark but simple animation, and pacey score make a nice retelling of this classic tale of murder and madness.

Pretty good narration but everything else is lacking.

Delightfully sinister and well animated.

A clever animation of Poe's classic horror short story with great first-person narration by James Mason and pretty interesting visual style.

James Mason

Clever, well-realized and understated short from the great UPA studios.

A mess.

Quite good animation and narration

Boring and dated. Nice voice over work though.

Boring.

Nice

Very well done animation, visual concepts well suited for Poe's story.

Everything seems set up here for a classic. The story is, of course, one of a kind. Mason's narration hits the nail on the head. And the animation is strangely reminiscent of something out of Caligari. The only problem is that the plot isn't allowed to flow with the grace of Poe's original and therefore ends up feeling a bit rushed - A minor complaint, however, in an otherwise fine cartoon.

Great adaptation of the story by Poe.
