I really wish I'd seen this film sometime in the last decade or so, because i've forgotten so much of what's going on. It definitely still works, even though I spent the first watch going, huh? what's that? I don't remember that, what's going on there?
I tried vidding a 70s animated film recently, and I discovered I pretty much had to double speed every clip to not make it seem excruciating slow motion. Compared to today's animations, eg. Wall.E, where so much is happening, it's hard to get older and slower footage to keep up with fast songs and with today's vid expectations. So I'm really impressed with how much you've maintained movement throughout, because (although I can't remember the film well enough to be sure) I'm pretty sure it would have been easy to, with longer shots, get bored with waiting for the puppets to move. By maintaining the movement throughout the vid, you've made sure the audience can see these slow moving puppets as characters with agency and bravery and hard decisions to make.
