Ruddigore - A 1967 Animated Adaptation

This video is rated for all ages. (I don't own this video. Cartoon made by Halas and Batchelor.)
It's not everyday that a Gilbert and Sullivan opera is adapted into a cartoon. Especially when one which features the voices of the legendary John Reed, Gillian Knight, Donald Adams and Kenneth Sandford.
The character designs are really good. Some characters resemble those you'd find in Australian cartoons in the '60s through '80s; others have the black dots standing for eyes on just about everyone in the Madeline series.
The young female roles-Rose Maybud, Mad Margaret and the bridesmaids-look really adorable. The change in Robyn and Despard's appearances throughout the acts are impressive: whereas the Despard's redeemed self is low key, the Jekyll/Hyde transformation of Robyn Oakapple to Sir Ruthven Murgatroyd can give you a bit of the shivers. Then there's the witch/gargoyle who seems to silently watch the whole story unfold as well as the knight with a helmet that can wink, both of whom seem to become a thing at the end.
I don't know if there are any more G&S works that have been animated and condensed, but it wouldn't hurt to watch the whole series.

I enjoyed this so much. The animation is just so lovely and fluid, and the story's all over the place, but that doesn't bother me, somehow?

Well the animation is lovely, it's also a good look at the history of cartoons. The story it self is an interesting one. But the characters in the story are um.... well, they are um. Well they are
