"Raggedy Ann and Andy: A Musical Adventure" (directed by Richard Williams) is one of the strangest, most interesting animated films to come out of the the 1970's, but not many people know of its loose stage adaptation, which was also a memorably weird experience. But weird certainly doesn't mean bad. I'm attempting here to give a comprehensive history on the movie and the musical, including a run-down of the show's poignant (and somewhat Freudian) plot.

Fans of surreal imagery, musical theater, and Joe Raposo should definitely check this one out!

If you only want to hear about the stage version, skip to 9:05.
