Duel

Two swashbucklers meet on a deserted island to fight a duel. A comically fast and furious battle ensues, full of vivid swordplay, perilous scrapes,and close shaves. The wordless, balletic action is set to Russian composer Anatolii Lyadov’s orchestral miniature \’Baba Yaga (Opus 56). Created partly as an experiment in developing a fast-rendering, flat-color look, and partly as an homage to all the great swashbuckling films.
Loooooooovely animation. It’s why we won’t bother with disney/pixar etc. in a few years time - everyone will just be making this stuff themselves. Duel.

Yay, Lara Croft in Ireland!
Feshti's back and this time he's counting down the top 10 movie opening scenes of all time.
Is American opinion and culture crowding out all others?
this is clearly a rip off from the film The Princess Bride

The whole fight scene takes place on top of a cliff with the man in black.. its the same sword and everything i think. Very well done though
