Madama Butterfly Adaptaion

I found it extremely interesting how they adapted the opera into clay animation. It’s almost like an opera for kids, minus the sex scene (which, I must point out, was extremely graphic for clay animation).  The fish baby was a unique interpretation  of a child whos father is out to see. And even as clay doll you can feel how upset Madama Butterfly is when she is left waiting for her man, and when her son is torn from her to go live with the perfect “barbie” family. She is left so sad it tears her apart, literally.  But the butterfly ensures that she will always live on.
