Wolf at Your Door

This year's Oscar-winning animated short Peter & the Wolf will be presented tomorrow night as part of PBS' Great Performances. In addition to the complete toon, which retells the familiar story of Sergei Prokofiev's classical piece through stop motion animation, the program will present a behind the scenes featurette on the making of it.

In related news, Peter & the Wolf and all of the other Oscar nominated animated and live action short subjects (including live action winner The Mozart of Pickpockets) will be released on DVD May 6. Click here to pre-order Collection of 2007 Academy Award: Nominated Short Filmsfrom Amazon.com.
