Homunkulus

A peculiar interpretation of the medieval alchemists' art of creating a living being. This reflection on mankind and the grand scheme of things was deliberately created as a cartoon comedy. Despite that, the studio management of the time found it unacceptable, and the film had to include an introduction referring to Hieronymus Bosch. For the first time in his career, Mergl used his own works of art which take on a magical function in the film. (Anifilm)
