Street of Crocodiles is a 21-minute-long British stop-motion animation short subject directed and produced by the Brothers Quay and released in 1986.
Rather than literally representing the childhood memoirs of Schulz, the animators used the story's mood and psychological undertones as inspiration for their own creation.
Rather than examining the potential symbolism of such props as screws, dust, string, meat, and wind-up monkeys, many shots seem to focus on the movements and inherent characteristics of the materials.
As they do in most of their films, the Brothers Quay employ a more musically grounded structure in place of a straightforward literal narrative in Street of Crocodiles.
Entitled The Brothers Quay Collection: Ten Astonishing Short Films 1984–1993, it is now out of print[11] The second edition was produced by the BFI in London and released in November 2006.
