Technicolor
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

"He skips off back to the castle and we are back where we started on his metaphysical journey, older if not wiser. Although considered a failure, artistically and conceptually, Mondo Candido still enjoys a strange allure. There are still glimpses of the Jacopetti and Prosperi spirit in this unforgettable overblown, Technicolor indulgence."--page 42, Sweet & Savage (2006) by Mark Goodall |

Technicolor is the trademark for a series of color film processes pioneered by Technicolor Motion Picture Corporation. Technicolor was the most widely used color motion picture process in Hollywood from 1922 to 1952. It became known and celebrated for its hyper-realistic, saturated levels of color, and was used commonly for filming musicals (such as The Wizard of Oz and Singin' in the Rain), costume pictures (such as The Adventures of Robin Hood and Joan of Arc), and animated films (such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Fantasia). The adjective technicolored means in brilliant, often surreal colors.
