omg thats so cute! I always love to hear stories of how people got into this series *u*

You can thank Dante Ferretti for the gorgeous set designs. I believe he was told to make the whole feel of it “like a funeral parlor,” and he was also inspired by old prints and the surreal environments of Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi.  

My story is similar. I was around that age, and had to sneak it. I saw the movie on VHS tape. That meant it had to be rewound each time. And they said it would lose quality over numbers of plays! I would pause it and try to draw the beautiful characters, too. 

Don’t even ask bc thankfully those drawings are LONG GONE.
