Samson & Sally

Samson amp Sally a.k.a. Samson amp Sally The Song of the Whales is a Danish featurelength animated film made in 1984. It was directed by Jannik Hastrup and based on the novel The Song of the Whales by Danish author Bent Haller. The story is darker than most animated films of the time.

In one of the last scenes of the film Samson is swimming through the ruins of Atlantis. Throughout the film the characters refer to this city as The City That Man Built. As he is leaving his encounter with Moby Dick he passes by The Statue of Liberty and the New York City Skyline both entirely underwater. Although a childrens film this seems to indicate that they are living in some postapocalyptic ocean on Earth. They also have large run ins with radioactive waste and other masses of pollution on huge scales. The film is a warning like all other postapocalyptic stories. Mankind is not viscious, mankind is stupid. Someday man will realize what he is doing. By killing everything in the sea he is killing himself. When the sea is dead mankind will die too. Moby DickSamson amp Sally was first released in the United States on VHS by Just For Kids Home Video in 1990. This version has edited opening credits, a scene of a polar bear trying to pull a killed seal onto land and the seagull defecating on a whaler after tying him up removed. This version is also panandscan. ........
