Withering Heights: An Animated Parody

Parody Video (animated)

October 27, 2013

Withering Heights is a parody of Emily Brontë's original novel, Wuthering Heights. You don't need to read the original novel in order to enjoy this movie, although you'll obviously appreciate more of the references if you're familiar with the story. Either way, it's a fun ride and should at least be good for some grins.

This hasty parody of Charles Dickens' "The Old Curiosity Shop" was scripted, filmed, edited, and published in just three days! Told with sock puppets, it captures many elements of the original tale, but it still goes where most directors wouldn't dare with this story: a happy (but silly) ending.

This is a parody of the classic novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. Although it has plenty of fun along the way, it's essentially the full story of Treasure Island.
