unexpected entertainment
This will be amusing for the musicals people on my friends list; everyone else probably won't care.
So yesterday morning I'm poking around through one of the markets, and come across a stand with various movies. I know I won't buy anything, but I'm looking through them anyway. All of a sudden, "Huh? Did I just see'Sissi?'" It was an old animated movie about Elisabeth of the musical with the same title! I didn't have much time, so all I could glimpse from the Spanish on the back of the VHS cover were the phrases "Max," "unhappy with Franz Joseph...goes off looking for love, etc." I'm sure there was some other entertaining though very inaccurate plot included, but I didn't catch it. And what was my first thought upon seeing the cover? "Damn it, she's not kissing Death!"
So far IMDB hasn't been any help on finding information about this, but I'm far too amused to give up so easily.
