Terrifying

In the days of only 3 tv channels (1970s) British kids were treated to an eclectic variety of European television productions. Always dubbed, often in black and white and endlessly repeated. Much of it was excellent and fondly remembered by many.However The Singing Ringing Tree was essentially a hammer horror movie for children made in East Germany. For those of us who saw it when very young, it become the stuff of nightmares filled with evil dwarf wizards, spoilt princesses made ugly by spells and a kind hero Bear. The production was all studio bound, but with a strange psychedelic atmosphere. I loved it.

Outlandish East German fairytale

THE SINGING RINGING TREE is a delightfully obscure East German fairytale with an overtly moralistic storyline and plenty of bizarre content to engage all of the kids who first saw it televised in Britain back in the 1960s. In fact, it's one of those rare productions that might well be more popular abroad than it is in its own country; something about this garish production captured the minds of kids across the nation and gave some of them sleepless nights to boot.

The tale is about a prince whose attempts to court a beautiful but ice-cold princess end in disaster when he's turned into a bear by an evil dwarf. That's just the beginning of a tale which is straightforward but contains all manner of outlandish content, from a giant floating goldfish to a horned horse and a woman who is cursed with ugliness. The cackling, scheming dwarf is pure entertainment value alone. I love productions such as these with colourful, far-reaching set design and THE SINGING RINGING TREE is a visual masterpiece that out-visuals Disney at its own game. The English version features a British narrator speaking over the German dialogue which sounds weird but turns out to work very well.
