- Annotation
- Overview of the making and reception of the novella's three major screen adaptations, the 1958 Hollywood film, 1990 television movie, and 1999 animated short film. Booth focuses on Aleksandr Petrov's Oscar-winning animated version, discussing the artist's use of innovative painting techniques and technology to create a dreamlike effect that leaves the viewer wondering: "Could Santiago's entire adventure be understood as an extended dream prompted by his yearning to live up to the boy's faith in the old man's prowess as a world-class fisherman?"
