forever and ever is a very long time;

Sita Sings the Blues has been released! I've been watching this forever, almost forgot about it, and was so happy to find that Nina Paley had managed to release it in full. The animation and character design in this is absolutely gorgeous. It's part autobiography, part retelling of the Ramayana (my only knowledge of it is Wikipedia, the opening of A Little Princess and what very little I learned of it in school) from Sita's point of view. The best part of this is the shadow puppets who provide the background information, they keep correcting each other and mispronouncing names. :D
