Sita Sings the Blues, a marvelous animated musical retelling of the Ramayana from Sita's point of view, can be viewed in its entirety via live streaming here.
March 7th, it goes up on Archive.org for free download under a Creative Commons license, in higher-resolution than is viewable streaming right now.
This is a gorgeous work of art that was nearly torpedoed by the greed of corporations who, through no effort of their own, ended up with the copyrights to some of the 80-year-old music used in it. As it is, the animator had to take out a $50,000 loan to pay the licensing fees.
This is such an awesome movie. I can't wait to snag the high-resolution version.
