Lentorama 2014: We're Ready for Your Closeup, Your Holiness

Day 18: Dante's Inferno

This updated telling of Dante's epic uses paper puppets and miniature sets to tell the tale, and I'm torn between that being kind of cool and the trope of  "updating" a classic to remind us how little humanity has changed over the years.

Tony Hale (aka Buster Bluth) voices Pope Nicholas III, who is in hell for simony and is punished by being put head first into a hole and having his feet set on fire. Now I really want to see how they pulled that off using paper puppets.
