Soldier Jack and Rip Van Winkle

Recommended for age 7 and older. Two wonderful American folktales-a clay animated film about the man who slept for many years, and a live-action tale about a man who gained the magic power to stop death until he decided he had lived too long. Done in a style that communicates great folk wisdom and humor, Soldier Jack, a film full of scary but funny magic, has won awards from the Chicago International Children's Film Festival and the AFI Video Festival.
