Either you decide to hop aboard this great Experimental ride of a Movie or you don't. it is stylistically an Animation, a visual trip to another World, another Place, another Time. It is a Comic Book/ Pulp Magazine/Serial come to life in the form of a Modernization with Computer Techniques, Graphic Art, and Live Actors. An amalgamation of Super-Hero/Sci-Fi/Adventure from days gone by.
It is wild and it is fascinating. The entire Movie is an homage, and at times, a direct copy of those Entertainment Art Forms that flourished in Art Deco times. There are tributes to Max Fleischer, and King Kong. In fact the spotlight shines on an extensive variety of the Great Entertainments of past and listing them may spoil some of the Fun.
Fun is what this is all about. It turns in an ambitious attempt that is stunning and attractive. To say that this is unique would not be enough. A completely engaging, straightforward Story for all ages. This is compelling Movie Making at its most Spirited. This can be billed with the beautiful, equally audacious Dick Tracy (1990) for a wonderful Double Feature. In addition, a Newsreel, Cliffhanger, Comedy Short, and Color Cartoon should be included.
