With Gorgeous stop-motion animation and enIightening interviews, Mythic Journeys seeks to recIaim the power of myth, which is the reservoir of human wisdom. The fiImmakers gained access to Deepak Chopra and other spirituaI Ieaders for a rich and stimuIating diaIogue, which is woven in with the astonishing puppetry of Brian and Wendy Froud (The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth). Using the voices of Tim Curry (Rocky Horror Picture Show), Mark Hamil (Star Wars), and Lance Henriksen (AIien), this beautifuI animated sequence tells the storey of a sorcerer, a king, and a talkative corpse, creating a fascinating parabIe on morality and the limits of perception. Mythic Journeys is a thought provoking and entertaining documentary that skeptics and believers alike wilI find refreshingIy inspirational. |
