Ehirerapp Waste of time
Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
SpecialsTarget Disturbing yet enthralling
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Sean Ramsdell Pros: "Kick Me", "Closed Mondays", "French Windows" (mainly Pink Floyd), "Light", "Mountain Music", "Mirror People", bits of "Room and Board", already seen "Bambi Meets Godzilla", "Cat's Cradle" and "Mechanical Monsters" Cons: "A Short History of the Wheel", bits of "Cosmic Cartoon" (nudity mostly), "Oiseau de nuit"
MartinHafer bizarre addition--a 1940s Superman cartoon latter portion--TV animations such as Levis and 7-11While I only give this collection of animated films a 6, I still recommend you see it--which might not make much sense. Let me explain. The quality of independent animation in the 60s and 70s was very, very poor. Much of it might have been because the great studios had either shut down (think Looney Tunes and MGM) or gone dormant (think Disney). In its place you had lots and lots of Hannah-Barbera--with offerings like "Speed Buggy", "Huckleberry Hound", "Inch High, Private Eye" and the godawful "Bionic Stooges". And, given the appalling quality of these cartoons (see them yourself now that you've grown up and you'll see what I mean), it's surprising ANY decent animations were created at this time. Now I am not saying the films are all great--several are pretty bad. But a few, such as "French Windows" and "Closed Mondays" are still marvelous to watch. And, to get a decent overview of the times, it is worth seeing.By the way, the collection, at times, seems rather randomly tossed together. Among all these films of the 70s is a Superman cartoon from 1941 (why???) and some animated TV ads for 7-Up and Levis. Odd....
coliseumvideos This film was released on VHS back in 1978 by Media-Home Entertainment, Inc. I know this to be true because I have the videocassette in hand and enjoy it often. Despite what others have posted about this film never being legally released, this is an untruth. The tape/film runs for approx 91 minutes and has excellent 2 channel audio yet this release was before Dolby was used on VHS cassettes. I first saw this film at a midnight movie in downtown Minneapolis. Every time the theater ran this film it was a gigantic party. People brought their own methods of enjoyment and relaxation with them to the theater and everyone got along and enjoyed it. The good old days when people were allowed to enjoy themselves in a public forum without being hassled by others. The one film of the clay people really sticks out in my mind as well as the Closed Mondays segment. So many people want this film that I just don't understand why it has not been re-released. Perhaps there are too many artists and musicians rights involved as to work out all the legal agreements necessary to release it again.
dianasepul I was about 5 when I first saw this movie it was on video. Being 5 and watching the tripped out animation of the 70's, some set to Pink Floyd was actually terrifying to me, but I kept watching this video repeatedly like many 5 years old like to do with videos. I couldn't even watch it by myself I made my brother stay with me with lights on and door open. I liked being scared and tried to figure the cartoons out. They didn't make sense to me and I think that is why it frightened me to watch. It still haunts, but intrigues me. I am a fan, but do not recommend young children to watch, because it is hard to understand at such a young age. I think you need to be around 10 to understand that it is art, and that some cartoons have a meaning, and some don't.
