"Extraordinary Tales" (2014) is a collection of five short animations based on Edgar Allen Poe stories. Rated "R" presumably for violence, it may not be for the kids. I liked it, very nice stylized animation plus good sound and voice acting, and it was a free loan from our local library. Trailer here:

You're welcome. Note that some of the reviews by serious Poe fans are not all that favorable, preferring Poe's original words on the page. I agree that the reader's imagination can create very scary scenarios, inspired by Poe's words. But I feel that both text and animation are very worthwhile, and the animation technique in these shorts is very interesting. 🌒
