Is the 1981 canadian animation any good?



I'm not old, you're just 12.
Not really, but it's still a fun movie. The animation is uneven and stilted, and the stories range from really fun to really dumb, but it's still worth watching.

Is the 1981 canadian animation any good?
In 1981 it seemed ground-breaking and top of the line in animation. It was considered "mind-blowing" to the post-60's drug culture and it was supposed to be pushing the envelope in regards to the blurry line between cartoons and adult entertainment.

By today's standards, it will probably seem quite dated and not all that remarkable in shock value (whether that be the "mind-blowing" sci-fi concepts, the montage animation sequences, the sex or the violence).

So it's probably best viewed from a film / animation history standpoint.

P.S. As a kid, I used to buy the magazine the film was derived from, once in a while.
