The Queen of the Butterflies

1927 · 26 min Fantasy Animation

A little girl working as a carnival dancer is given a gift of a caterpillar as a joke. She spares the caterpillar's life, and becomes the Queen of the Butterflies. The film combines live-action sequences starring the director's daughter Jeanne (aka Nina Star) with puppet animation. Full of special effects, as with Starevich's previous films he used deceased insects as the protagonists of the film.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The Queen of the Butterflies is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1927. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
