Hi there! Will be reviewing this article. Looks pretty neat at first glance, expect a full review in several hours. GeraldWL 01:45, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Lead and infobox

• There's no need for reference 2, as Servais' position as writer-director has been cited in the body, and leads shouldn't have citations whenever possible.
• Link short film
• Other than that, everything here looks good.

Plot, themes

• "...finds a man strangling a woman in a fountain." Previously there's already "the cries of a woman" and there's only one woman in this film, so it should be "the woman in a fountain."
• Linking chips is WP:OVERLINK.
• "Servais' 1968 film Siren" --> "Servais' Siren (1968)".

Production

• "He made his first animated short film in 1959"-- link animation and short film.
• "He envisioned it as a comedy horror film"-- link comedy horror.
  • It was linked above as "horror parody", but this looks better.
• "...about a harpy, a winged, female monster from Greek mythology." I don't think we need this definition of harpy here since it's already stated in the plot section; if you feel like this extension is useful you can put it in the plot, but it shouldn't be here as it's repetition.
• "Harpies are for example known from the Argonautica" --> "Harpies are for example known from the Greek poem Argonautica"
• "...traditional cartoon"-- link Traditional animation.
• "the spontaneous to visuals close to interwar"-- is this referring to Interwar period? Or other stuff?
  • Yes, I reworded it and added a link.
• Link frames per second.

Release

• Above at the infobox there's ref 1 for the 9 minutes claim. To make the lead citation-free, I'd suggest modifying the second sentence to "With a running time of nine minutes,[1] it was the third time one of Servais' short films was selected for the festival; he had previously participated with Goldframe in 1969 and Operation X-70 in 1972.[27]"

Reception

• "...and Wim de Poorter of Ons Erfdeel"-- remove "Wim de" and "of Ons Erfdeel" as it has been established in Production who Poorter is and where he worked for.
• Link Phantasmagoria.
• "...the director's most individual film"-- you mean individualist? Or...? Because individual means "single; separate" nnd "of or for a particular person"
  • Changed to "unique", which is the word used in the source.
• "1979 Annecy festival --> "1979 Annecy International Animation Film Festival".

Legacy

• Link film school
• Other than that, looks all good!

Thank you very much, Gerald Waldo Luis! I think I have addressed everything above. Let me know if anything else is needed. Ffranc (talk) 10:24, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Ffranc: awesome! One last thing to note, at the sources section, I'd suggest linking CRC Press and Les 400 coups, as well as the locations in the =location parameters. All while I review MOS to make sure I'm not missing anything. GeraldWL 12:26, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Linked everything I could in the source section now. Ffranc (talk) 12:42, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

And that wraps the GAN for this article! Probably one of the fastest (but still thorough) GANs I've reviewed. It's comprehensive, written well article for a masterpiece.  Passed GeraldWL 13:59, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the fast review! Ffranc (talk) 14:23, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

)

• ... that Raoul Servais invented a new technique for combining animation and live action for his short film Harpya? Source: "...I wanted to try out something new, something that lay between animation and live action. ... So I had to develop a technique of my own that would allow me to combine the two film techniques." Raoul Servais: The Wizard of Ostend
  • ALT1: ... that critics have discussed whether or not the short film Harpya is misogynist? Source: "The film is little shocking but it would be a mistake to read it as misogynist." Animation: A World History, "Ça l'ennuie quand on dit que c'est un film misogyne." [It annoys him when one says it's a misogynist film.] Cinergie, "On the face of it, the film is a misogynist fable... And yet Harpya doesn't seem that offensive." Notebook

Improved to Good Article status by Ffranc (talk). Self-nominated at 14:47, 3 December 2021 (UTC).

• Just watched the film. Quite bizarre... and oddly appetizing. Article was promoted to GA within seven days of nomination, is plenty long enough and written in a neutral tone. Earwig revealed no close paraphrasing. Checking the few English e-book sources I couldn't spot any close paraphrasing between them and the article either. QPQ done. I approve ALT0 as the more interesting of the two; hook fact checks out. DigitalIceAge (talk) 05:45, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
