Louisa May Alcott:
Movies, Animations & Alcott in Germany

I initially started this project on Dec 13, 1997 with a German Homepage because Louisa May Alcott and her books are scarcely known here in Germany.

The English pages are designed to provide informations about the various movies and Japanese animations that are based on Louisa May Alcott's works. Some of these adaptions are worth not to just be mentioned in a few words and that's the reason why I created theses pages.

This site holds three main guides (under construction):

	The Alcott Movie Guide All about the movies & TV-series that are based on LMA's works. Including: Little women (1994), Little Men (1997), Little Men series (1998) and of course all the old movies. (In progress)
	The Alcott Anime Guide Covers anything that deals with the Japanese animations that are based on Little Women and Little Men. Incuding: Both Nippon Animation series of the World Masterpieces Theater, Little Women (1981) and the 1980 Little Women video.
	Alcott in Germany a) A visit at Lulu's grave b) History of German translations c) Alcott's works in Germany today
	Misc: Funstuff, trivia but also infos on mailing lists and backgrounds that are not covered by the main Alcott sites in the USA
	The German Homepage

• Greats news for me but perhaps old news for you: A single tape of Nippon Animation's Little Women anime can be bought at e.g. Amazon.com. It's called "Little Women's Christmas Story" and probably contains just one out of the 48 episodes. (Boy, whoever painted the cover art of this video should give up his profession immediately. That's the worst immitation of the original cell art I've ever seen! You have to click on the cover to get a bigger picture of this "artwork") different cover

• And even more interesting: Someone in the USA wrote me that the older 1981 anime series of Little Women was cut to a 2h movie by Harmony Gold and aired on Nikelodeon.
  If someone still has this movie on tape, please contact me. I really like to see it...
