Popol Vuh on youtube

I had seen this animated movie on the Popol Vuh by Patricia Amlin many years ago in class as a freshman. Had been looking for it for a few years now, and suddenly discovered it on youtube:

It's brilliantly done, no documentary but the story itself in a gripping way. There's also a different film, The Five Suns, about central Mexico but haven't found that one yet.

It has a kind of poetic side to it I sometimes like a lot. If the lead singer Shane MacGowan sometimes sounds drunk, he is. Great drinker, he once was so drunk on stage that he puked over the first row. It seems because he is kind of a shy person so that it takes him some help to get on the stage or tv.
