I'm a big fan of these Eastern European animations that costumed their anti-totalitarian message with cutouts and puppets. Made in 1963, Lenica created "Labyrinth" a self-consciously Kafka-esque tale of a winged lonely man literally devoured by totalitarian rule. Along with Jiří Trnka's Ruka (The Hand, 1965), Labyrinth is considered to be one of the finest political animations ever made.
