With Gorgeous stop-motion animation and enIightening interviews, Mythic Journeys seeks to reclaim the power of myth, which is the reservoir of human wisdom. The filmmakers gained access to Deepak Chopra and other spirituaI leaders for a rich and stimulating 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 (Alien), this beautifuI animated sequence teIls the storey of a sorcerer, a king, and a taIkative corpse, creating a fascinating parabIe on morality and the Iimits of perception. Mythic Journeys is a thought provoking and entertaining documentary that skeptics and believers aIike wiIl find refreshingly inspirational. |
