6.4

The moon swirls happily around, watching strange animals enjoying themselves and dancing to gramophone music in its light. Then, suddenly, the moon falls out of the sky, and a greedy dragon drags it into his cave and forces it to give him light while he eats all the cakes. When the nights stay dark, the animals come up with a plan. Otto Sacher, East Germany’s legendary animation director and co-founder of the DEFA Studio for Animation Film, was the artistic advisor for this film, the first of Dammbeck’s animated works.
