The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix (1975) Rated G

This unique stop-motion animated film from 1975 is a rare classic, and one film lovers won’t easily find elsewhere. It was made in Norway, in the Norwegian language! (Don’t worry—there are English subtitles!) Much more than a film, it’s a real work of art itself, due to the creative process involved in bringing stop-motion to the movie screen. To this day, it continues to be the most famous film in Norway, something its citizens are quite proud of. Come see why!
