The cartoon “Canterville Ghost” is a kind of film adaptation of the work of O. Wilde, decorated with the voices of venerable actors. A wealthy American family acquires a castle in England with more than three hundred years of history. The owners of the castle explain that the ghost of Simon Canterville lives in it. The British consider it their duty to warn new owners, even knowing that it may scare them away. But the news caused the pragmatic head of the family completely different thoughts. He took the ghost as an extra commodity for which he would have to pay. The astonished owner replied that he could take the ghost for free.
Every morning, Americans find a red spot on the floor. The father of the family tries to bring it out, but the next day it reappears. The ghost is trying to intimidate the owners. He rattles chains at night, but the new owner of the castle simply complains that he prevents them from sleeping and offers lubrication to make the chains less noisy. Children, seeing a ghost, are also not afraid, and begin a fun hunt for him. And no matter what the ghost does, it turns out that the twins give him much more inconvenience than he gives them.
An annoyed Simon Canterville recalls the old days when the castle was inhabited by lords and noble ladies who were so easy to scare. And the new owners don't take anything. One day he meets the young daughter of an American couple, who learns that it was a ghost who stole her colors in order to paint a stain. Having communicated with the ghost, she is imbued with sympathy for him and even the fact that he killed his wife, the girl is not particularly embarrassed, because she was bad herself and did not know how to cook. At the end of the film, the girl helps the ghost find freedom, which he is incredibly happy about. But the father of the family is upset, and he has his reasons for this.
Interesting facts
During the creation of the cartoon, the technology of translucent pouring or “blurring” was first used.
Production designer Lana Azarch admitted to a press source that the work on the Canterville Ghost project was not combined with any ideological issues related to Britain. In order to make the castle as similar as possible to the real one, she studied the “spirit of the country” in libraries.
The cartoon “Canterville Ghost” was the third adaptation of the work of O. Wilde. In 1944 and 1964, two feature films were created on the same theme. close
