Street of Crocodiles is a 21-minute-long British stop-motion animation short subject directed and produced by the Brothers Quay and released in 1986.[2]
"The Street of Crocodiles" was originally a short story written by Bruno Schulz, from a story collection published under that title in English translation. Rather than literally representing the childhood memoirs of Schulz, the animators used the story's mood and psychological undertones as inspiration for their own creation.[3]
