The Sandman (film)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sandman is the name of two different animated short films.
Paul Berry's version was made in 1991 and is a ten minute puppet animation. Berry went on to animate for Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, to which the short bears much stylistic resemblance.
There is also a 2000 version by the Brothers Quay. Both films follow a similar plot.
[edit] Plot
As the clock strikes eight, a mother sends her boy to bed, with only a candle light to guide him, he is wary and frightened. Once he is in his room, he believes there is a creature coming to get him, relieved to find it was only his mum. But the Sandman still lurks in the shadows.
