If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Eric Ladd and Steven Lisberger created "Cosmic Cartoon"--one of the strangest and trippiest cartoons of a very strange and trippy decade! While you'd NEVER see any animation like it today, in a way it's an interesting window into the psychedelic 70s.I really cannot adequately describe "Cosmic Cartoon"--mostly because it's a completely visual piece without a traditional narrative. You'll see planets as the film begins and the camera seems to descend to the surface of a planet where you eventually see an animated nude dancing about for some time. It's all set to some wonderful music and the overall effect is less a cartoon and more like something you'd see in a modern art gallery. I really liked it--especially because the 70s were not good to animation and "Cosmic Cartoon" shows that some people really DID care back then. Worth seeing.
