The Pied Piper of Hamelin has appeared many times in popular culture. ==Film== The story has been depicted many times on film: *In the 1920 ''Jerry on the Job'' short ''Cheating the Piper'', Jerry uses a saxophone to lure the rats away from the train station. *The 1933 adaptation was produced as an animated Walt Disney ''Silly Symphony'' short. * In 1945 an adaptation was produced as an animated Swing Symphony version of ''The Pied Piper of Hamelin'' by Walter Lantz Productions and was called, ''The Pied Piper of Basin Street''. *The 1957 made-for-television special ''The Pied Piper of Hamelin'' was a musical version in color, using the music of Edvard Grieg, and starring Van Johnson in a dual role as both the title character and the local schoolmaster. * The 1972 film ''The Pied Piper'' was not a musical ''per se'', although it contained songs by Donovan, who also played the title role. This was an especially dark and realistic version of the tale, set this time in the 14th Century during the time of the Black Plague. The film was directed by Jacques Demy and also starred Jack Wild, Michael Hordern, Donald Pleasence and John Hurt. *A stop-motion "claymation" half-hour version was made in 1981 in the United Kingdom by Cosgrove Hall, directed by Mark Hall and narrated by Robert Hardy, following the Browning poem exactly. *''The Pied Piper'' is a 1986 Czechoslovak stop-motion animated feature film directed by Jiří Barta, notable for its unusual dark art direction, innovative animation techniques and lack of almost any understandable dialogue with all words spoken in gibberish. * The 1997 movie ''The Sweet Hereafter'', about a town that suffers a horrifying school bus accident wherein nearly all their children are killed, heavily references the Pied Piper and quotes liberally from the Browning version. * A direct-to-video cartoon, ''It's the Pied Piper, Charlie Brown'', was released in 2000. In the special, Charlie Brown reads to Sally a less-scary version of the legend of The Pied Piper. * In the 2001 film ''Shrek'', the Pied Piper is seen at the main character's swamp, where every fairy tale creature has gathered to escape Lord Farquaad. Again, the movie Shrek Forever After features Pied Piper as a minor character who is hired by the main villain Rumpelstiltskin, to use his music to lead the rebelling Ogres to their imprisonment (while making them dance to "Shake Your Groove Thing"). * In ''A Nightmare on Elm Street'' (2010), the characters' research of Freddy Krueger provides them with the legend of the Piper. * Warner Bros. cartoons occasionally referenced the story. ''Pied Piper Porky'' casts Porky Pig in the role, as does ''Paying the Piper''. ''Book Revue'' shows the cover of a book jokingly titled ''The Pie-Eyed Piper'', whose title character plays his instrument as part of the musical show that dominates the cartoon. ("Pie-eyed" is a colloquialism for "drunk".()) Probably most famous is ''The Pied Piper of Guadalupe'', starring Sylvester as the piper trying to trap mice (but he eventually gets defeated by Speedy Gonzales). * ''Sailor Moon Super S: The Movie'' draws strong inspirations from the Pied Piper. * In 2014, HitRecord recorded scenes for a fictional film about the Pied Piper.〔http://www.hitrecord.org/records/1552431〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pied Piper of Hamelin in popular culture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
