Really scary cartoon :)
I wuv it!
Synopsis:A dark adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's short story about a man who is haunted by the beating heart of the man whom he has murdered.
You don't see animation and storytelling like this often. Love animation that has an experimental quality and isn't afraid to play around with its style.
UPA was the cutting edge of cartoons in the day, although this is perhaps better called an animation than a cartoon. James Mason is perfect as the narrator of this remarkable animation. I've seen this several times, but I keep remembering it as being Yugoslavian (from when there was a Yugoslavia).
+gnikcohs You may be thinking about Zagreb Studios, a Yugoslavian animation company that respected and emulated the work that UPA was doing at the time. Zagreb studio did another Edgar Allen Poe short story, the Masque of the Red Death, based on this UPA short.

Art without being "artsy"; Mason's voice is a real nightmare-maker, too!.
Never quite figured out why Poe focused more on the eye than the heart, though...
Mad?!?!?
illumination
Because the mad man wasn't missing a heart, just a lack of vision
When I was younger, I remember coming home to an empty house around 10pm on a Halloween night. I think I was 8 or 9 at the time. I'd been out with my friends. My brother was out with his friends, and my parents were out at a party, and wouldn't be home until later.
I'd been home alone before, It didn't bother me much. So I turned on the TV, just to wait til someone came home. This came on. I don't think I've ever been effected by watching something as much as when I watched this that night.
Fantastic. They need to release a DVD collection fo UPA's groundbreaking short cartoons, already!
This reminds me of the moody, dramatic Roger Corman, Vincent Price Edgar Allen Poe movies in which Corman Experimented with distortion lenses and color changes to depict nightmares and madness in the main character,s mind! I read that this film had been made to use with 3D glasses! I prefer this stylised hand rendered approch to the 3D cgi graphics that have become so cold and monatonous! Thanks for uploading this!
James Mason's voice is perfect for this.
Well, this cartoon was made by UPA, which was formed by John Hubley and others. Hubley who once worked at disney, became heavy influenced by a Soviet cartoon he once saw. He realized not all animation had to be like Disney's, and that's exactly what happened when UPA was created.
So this is what that old episode of Spongebob was based off of when Mr. Krabs tried to get rid of the rubber boots that drove him crazy. Genius!
this guy was totally sane and even more so driving himself sane
I also must mention that this version of Tell Tale Heart reminds me of the first animated openings of Rod Serlings' The Twiliight Zone, which UPA is credited for animating!
Thank you! I'd been searching high and low for this one. I saw it several times as a child, and it scared the life out of me!
To me, the Tell Tale Heart will always trump the Raven.
omg, i got so scared while the heart started beating. This video gives me stress, but at the same time, its very cool!
@baileytom78 No This is James Mason's Voice, not Vincent Price's Voice.
If you all think this is amazing you should see it remastered on the U.P.A. JOLLY FROLLICS 3-disc dvd set from TCM shop online! With the remastered, lighter brighter image I can see every creepy backround, action and spooky detail of this Poe masterwork! A masterpiece of erie design it shows how different a U.P.A. cartoon can be from any other and they are superior to the last 3 decades of commercial Disney junk! These animaters used to work for Disney when they all cared much more about story!
I remember watching this as a kid. Scared the SHIT outta me! "The eye was dead" just creeped me out.
Thank you Very much for posting,, i havent seen this in a long time..
This is fantastic! Thanks so much for posting it!
thanks for uploading this. i am in awe.
Truly amazing adaption
I was impressed by that myself, noticing the detail of those backgrounds that gets lost in this video.
I love how throughout the short, we never see the narrator face-to-face.
Mr. Poe is one of the greatest Writers of all time. I wish I could have met him or lived during the time that he was alive.
Great short.
Never thought I'd get to see this. The UPA animation catalogue is neglectfully sparse for DVD collections. Very iconclastic and an example of animation as an artistic medium.
I love this
we did the play at our school it was awesome!
Great animation, and great choice of style. This kind of abstract expressionism went perfectly with the man's madness.
wonderful!
same here, i read and watched the story at school; i thought Edgar Allan Poe a genius of suspense and drama. I love scary stuff and i thought his story was amazing and awesome ^^
This was one of the UPA cartoons that influenced a group of Czechoslovakian animators into creating the famous "Zagreb Film" unit, which created even more daring animation and story techniques...
Amazing!
This is a great. UPA produced the most stylish, distinctive animation of its era. I still enjoy films of other major houses from this decade, ohhh say Disney for instance, but whereas Disney and it's imitators would grow to become stale and repetive, UPA is presently inspiring a whole new generation of animators working with an entirely new set of tools (ie flat, cell based CGI). Just look around at the best series of the past decade ... Genndy Tartakovsky and ilk ... you'll know what to do.
Wonderful!
scariest cartoon ever...scared the hell out of me
This reminded me of parts of watership down, it's the voice and the some of the art...
I've heard those are going to be handled by Shout! Factory instead, but they are coming out soon.
I-I'm...speechless!
we were learning about thsi story in my english class
a perfect adaptation
Brilliant illustration progession; much like stream of consciousness;the final scene is reflective of paintings by Giorgio de Chirico; Where can i download this?
How Deliciously evil! THis is why I love Poe! Thanks for posting this!
I still dont get why he killed the old man. Its not his fault he had cataracts
Because it made him very, very, dreadfully nervous. But, not mad.
amazing
this is amasing
Yes, narrative is probably modified because this short movie tell the story acoompanied by moving images.
The original text didn't have moving images obviously, or illustrations at all perhaps, so using the original text for this short movie would be too much of the same, like stating the obvious.
To be honest, i like this version better than the original ;)
GREAT...
Execellent.
POE is crazy he has a great imagination to make up the tell tale hart & the pit and the pendulam
You know the old saying that there is a fine line between genius and madness and edgar allen poe is living proof of that saying.
@jasonmiester9 Usually whenever the narrator in a Poe story tries to stress that he's not mad or is perfectly sane as in this story or The Black Cat and other stories,
that's a giveaway that he's ready for a straitjacket.
Lovely.. Poe
i love this story. but i didn't even watch the video. xD the words in the beginning kind of scared me xD
You're right, 'sygo'- Zagreb WAS based in "Yugoslavia". My mistake....
This reminds me of Disney's recent Destino short. This film is 18 million times better.
WHY ARE ALL THE COMMENTS SO OLD?!
At least here, the policemen found the old man INTACT!
In the original story, after the murder, I think he cut off his head, legs, and arms.
@gullwing14 I believe that is the voice of Vincent Price.
I came here because of Guillermo Del Toro
We read this in class,we all think the Narrator(crazy man) is kinda y'know. Edgar Allan poe was weird himself,he married his cousin. His highest paid offer for his work was 15 measily dollars xD. he himself was mad,he climb the gutters and died out of nowhere.
actually he cut the old mans body up and stuffed him into the floor is 1 part they left out
@simonwilchesc Here's another from him!
/watch?v=O7Ve-JSoK2c
That man's crazy!!!
firstly there was no evidence to suggest from the beginning that he is "a madman" thats an opinon lol.
secondly, the man is sane, if you read the text on paper it's clearer than the video piece. and yes i believe he is sane to a certain extent :) think about it before you are "told" he is "mad" and why then?
Cool..
Splendido!
This is one of my favorite Poe´s stories, It makes you tremble HAHAHAHAHA
He is because he killed the old man because his eye freaked him out!
I'm waiting for the release of the remastered, made for movie theater "Mr. Magoo" U.P.A. cartoons so I can buy them from TCM shop so I can have all of the U.P.A. movie theater cartoons!
This is on the 2 disc special edition of hellboy. Also look for gay purree made by upa. There is also a shadow radio show episode called death in a minor key that has a narration almost like this one. One of the spookiest episodes of the shadow. Go to dumb.com/oldtimeradio and listen to that episode for a well done tale in the vein of edgar allen poe.
... :< I... I need a hug... I scare easily.
Better than Cliff's Notes, huh? Heh-heh! ;-)
I HAVE TO DO A PROJECT ON THIS FOR SCHOOL.

EVERYONE is doing this for school.
Hmmm... lots of cigarette burns on this print. Wonder what was up with that?
Ачё тут задвижуха кто нибудь подскажет.

I've watched this so many times on my channel page! Viewers of this great video might enjoy my hand drawn animated videos I made, BALDER'S EGG, THE BLACK WIDOW, THE MAGIC ARROWS, etc. on my channel page on you tube! They have fantasy creatures with narration and dialog with thousands of drawings!
