Weatherbeaten Melody

Weatherbeaten Melody

1943 · 10 min · ★ 6.6 · Animation

The general outline of the plot is of a bee that finds an abandoned phonograph in a meadow. The record, however, is jazz, and the interaction of different species of bugs makes this a subtle criticism of the Nazi ideals.

Directed by Hans Fischerkoesen · Written by Horst von Möllendorff
