The Bromberg Sisters are bonafide icons within the field of animation. They not only laid the groundwork for what would become one of the greatest animation studios to ever exist in Soymultzfilm, but they did immeasurable good in paving the way for women in animation
This, their 1951 adaptation of the classic Gogol tale, while being their most well known piece of work by a country mile, is not their best imo. I place it below their adaptations of Puss In…
Ahh, now this is more like it.
By far & away the better of the two completely random animated childrens xMas shorts helmed by folks that worked on Heavy Metal; the first being Jack Stokes’s uncomfortable, paedo-y Santa’s Special Delivery, which I reviewed a couple of days ago
It makes sense that this is the better of the two, because Gerald Potterson handles this one, and he was one of the more singular & unique voices in Canadian animation.
What a…
The single most insane Canadian children’s film ever conceived & produced. ‘TGLOS’ is a lost, esoteric fever dream of epic proportions. See it, know it, see it again, bask & writhe in the subsequent nightmares. This film is a moment in time. There is nothing else like it. It truly exists within a dusty, dilapidated, glittering universe that is all it’s own.
ALL! HAIL! SLIME-OOOOOOOOOO SSSSSSLLLLLIIIIIMMMMMEEEE-OOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
...my tender heart shed tears of straw-hewn gold for this masterpiece of aching whimsy..
It’s been quite a long while since this ancient soul has experienced something so magnificently beautiful
Moon Man is the all the best parts of my non-cathartic childhood dreamstates, crammed tastefully into an hour & a half of unsullied, multicoloured euphoria
Perfection. Shamefully underrated & ignored. I don’t trust anyone who has anything negative to say about this ode to graceful, moonlit innocence, but I would sincerely hope…
