Peter and the Wolf

Format: DVD Runtime: 35 minutes Series: Great Performances

It’s a wolf eat duck world. But it’s a world where little boys can find extraordinary courage and catch the wolf. Peter slips the guard of his haunted, over-protective grandfather, and with a little help from a crazy bird and a dreamy duck (and none whatsoever from a fat, lascivious cat and two hooligan hunters), outsmarts the wolf. Prokofiev’s story of the irreverent Peter has resonated deeply with over five generations of children, enchanted by its power and sense of fun. It is the most popular piece of classical music orchestrated for children ever. Now BAFTA winning animator Suzie Templeton in collaborating with a world class producing team and classical music specialists brings this mesmerizing and enchanting classic to its humorous and exhilarating best for the big screen.
