The Tell-Tale Heart
This classic 1953 animated short features James Mason as the narrator (film buffs will remember him as the lecherous protagonist of Kubrick’s Lolita, among countless other roles) and an understated, subtly creepy style that seems way ahead of its time. A classic rendition of a classic American story.

David Lynch’s “The Alphabet”

Girls in Japanese comics, cartoon videos or anime share a common look - big eyes that, by making the rest of the face look small, add the cuteness and sex appeal prized by many Japanese men.
