One of my favorite versions of Frankenstein, besides the classic 1931 version, was the Mr. Magoo version. Yes, it was sanitized for the kids, but it still kept the feel of the novel and the pathos of the characters.

From the 1966 short animation "Les Escargots" by René Laloux.



(This is probably the best screenshot showing the tears, but it's not obvious why he's crying (and making himself cry). It's because his tears are making his plants grow. The snails arrive a few minutes later.)

Criterion Channel's capsule:

Les escargots
Directed by René Laloux • 1966 • France

FANTASTIC PLANET was not the first collaboration between writer-director René Laloux and illustrator Roland Topor. Presented here is a short film they made together in the mid-1960s: LES ESCARGOTS.

The last time I read _Frankenstein_, I found that, with only a few exceptions, the story makes much more sense if you read the Creature as not actually existing, but being the Baron's psychopathic reaction to his own repressed homosexuality.
