Review of Blood Tea and Red String

BLOOD TEA AND RED STRING is an interesting little amateur animation effort told through the medium of stop motion animation. The central characters are all small mammals and the setting is a woodland backdrop. The crude animation looks like it comes from the 1960s but I found that quite charming being a fan of all things retro. Watching it throughout you're reminded of something like THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS, but BLOOD TEA AND RED STRING ups the interest further with the inclusion of some dark and gruesome moments that are linked to paganism. It's offbeat and homemade, but in a good way for once.
