Story Time is a 1979 short animated comedy compilation film written, directed and animated by Terry Gilliam. It is compiled from several of Gilliam's works from the late 1960s and early 1970s, and stylistically resembles the distinctive animations which Gilliam produced in that period for Monty Python's Flying Circus.[1]
Story Time is composed of three loosely connected animated segments.[2] The first two, "Don the Cockroach" and "The Albert Einstein Story", were originally broadcast within the television series The Marty Feldman Comedy Machine (1971–72), while the third, "The Christmas Card", was created for the 1968 Christmas Special of Do Not Adjust Your Set.[3][4] It was also shown as an accompaniment to some British theatrical releases of Monty Python's Life of Brian.
