The Adventure of Sudsakorn (Template:Lang-th, also The Adventure of Sud Sakorn, Sudsakhorn Adventure or Soodsakorn) is a 1990 Thai animated fantasy film. The only cel-animated feature film ever made in Thailand, it was directed by Payut Ngaokrachang. It was released in Thailand on Songkran Day, April 13, 1990. Since then, it has occasionally been seen at film festivals around the world but has not been made available for international audiences on DVD or video. In 2006, the story was adapted into a Thai live-action fantasy film, The Legend of Sudsakorn.
The story is based on Phra Aphai Mani, a 30,000-line epic written by Thailand's best-known poet, Sunthorn Phu.
Plot
Template:Spoilers Sudsakorn, the son of a mermaid and a musician, fights on different occasions, an elephant, shark, and dragon horse, and encounters in his meanderings a king, a hermit, a yogi, a magic wand, and ghosts. Template:Endspoilers
Background
Production started in 1976 and was plagued with shortages of capital, personnel and equipment. For the first six months, the crew had 100 workers, but by the second year their numbers were reduced to nine.
"I made a lot of my equipment from pieces I got from junk of World War II military surplus," Payut told writer John A. Lent. "I'd find a screw here, a crank there, etc. I used a combat camera and adapted it. I pulled together pieces of wood, aluminum, whatever I could find."
The intense, detailed work on Sudsakorn impaired Payut's eyesight. "I did all the key drawings myself, even the layout and design ... I was almost blind from doing that film and now I wear contacts. My right eye is long, my left is short, crooked because of all that detailed work."
