Werner Herzog Reads Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel

This hilarious video, in a similar vein to the “Werner Herzog Reads Curious George parody, features the famed director reading another beloved children’s book, Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel. It's chock full of dark, humorous goodness. Crank up the volume and enjoy!

Thanks to Ryan Iverson for making this! I’m crossing my fingers that he’ll continue the series.

That was freakin' hilarious. They should do videos of Henrik Ibsen reading children's books!
