VHS Oliver Twist animated retro vintage video cassette old movie

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This listing is for a VHS video cassette titled "The Adventures of Oliver Twist," based on the work of Charles Dickens. The cover features a brightly colored animated illustration, highlighting the main characters in a cartoon style, with a large menacing character in the background and the title "Oliver Twist" in yellow in the center. A yellow band at the top left mentions "LA VIDEOCASSETTE LE LIVRE ILLUSTRE" (THE VIDEOCASSETTE THE ILLUSTRATED BOOK). The scene shows young Oliver, bowl in hand, surrounded by other characters, as well as a white dog on the right and a small animal character at the bottom right of the cover.

The cover's visual style is typical of animated productions from the 80s and 90s, with sharp outlines, bold colors, and dynamic composition. The typography of the title, in yellow on a blue background, immediately catches the eye. At the bottom of the cover, you'll find the mention "d’après l’œuvre de Charles Dickens" (based on the work of Charles Dickens), confirming the adaptation of the classic novel into an animated version.

The cassette is presented in its rigid plastic case, white on the visible spine. No publisher's logo, production year, or label is explicitly legible on the visible side. There is a handwritten code "DA 052" in blue ink on the cover, which does not hinder overall readability. The case appears to be in good structural condition, with light signs of wear visible on the plastic and the cover.

The overall impression suggests an edition aimed at a young audience, faithfully illustrating the world of the novel in an animated version. The cover, with its contrast between the dark blue background and the colorful characters, is typical of educational and entertaining video cassettes distributed in France in the 80s and 90s. The graphic style and the absence of modern codes on the visible side reinforce the retro and vintage character of this edition.

The front side is the only one visible in the photo; no details are observable on the back, on the opposite spine, or inside the case.
