The Old Man and the Sea - Animated

Open Culture has just published a list of seventeen classic stories that have been turned into animated videos that are now available on the web. A few of the items in the list I had seen before, these Shel Silverstein stories for example, but others were new to me. One of the animations that I particularly like is this animated telling of The Old Man and the Sea.


Applications for Education
These animated videos could be help some students gain a better understanding of the overall themes of some classic works. The videos could also be used as a model for students to create their own animated or claymation videos about stories that they're reading in your classroom.
