초록

This study examines the aspects and meanings of filmmaking in Heungbujeon, focusing on “Heungbu and Nolbu”(1967). This was Korea's first stop-motion animation, which provides insight into the early stages of the filming of “Heungbujeon,” as well as the the socio-cultural characteristics of the late 1960s mediated through the animation. This study focuses on its value as a resource and explor es how the “Heungbujeon” narrative is read and reconstructed in the film as well as the social and cultural meanings created in the process. This film shares the primary narrative of Heungbujeon. However, it partially changes the characterization of Heungbu and Nolbu, the part regarding their gourds, and inserts new characters and motifs. In particular, it established the existence of Nolbu’s gourd and used monsters such as tigers, ghosts, and dragons to reinforce the punishment of Nolbu, while establishing Heungbu's children as the subjects who declare the “Charter of Children’s Rights,” build schools by themselves, and rescue swallows. In this respect, the story is very different from the Heungbujeon narrative. This seems to be closely related to the socio-political background of the 1960s when the film was produced and screened, namely “the rebuilding of the state and the family and children on the basis of it.”
