The Pot is a 1925 Japanese short animated film. It combines two stories into one seventeen-minute movie: 1) The Fisherman and the Jinni from One Thousand and One Nights, and 2) the story of the fox and the lion from Machiavelli's The Prince. You can watch it online here.

ReplyDeleteThe jinn/djin/genie creatures are pictured in a variety of ways depending on time and culture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jinn I love the speech balloons in Japanese and wonder why our silent films never used them.
