This is like if you gave a failing film student a shit load of lsd, 7 buzz balls and about £5 and told them to go ham. Seen this about 30 times minimum and I still do not understand half of what the hell is going on.
Stange things include:
-A random unnecessary sfx showcase in a wood
-Ancient Greeks push a boat and it goes hyperspeed
-A little green twink becomes aryan
-Children dissappearing for days is just accepted
-The villains ignoring the one kid left to kidnap just because he is apparently stupid
-A little girl receiving threats of being turned into dog biscuit
-Flying cars in the mid 1930s
-Flying children in the mid 1930s
-Cultists
-Death by block of cocaine
-Incompetent police hanging out with a kidnapper at the glee club
-Anthropomorphic pirate rats
-Semi-human looking anthropomorphic rats who eat green cheese
-The wolf guard, whatever the hell they are
-Homosexual swimming in lakes
-Homosexual hand holding in the air

Absolutely mental. The creators must’ve done so many drugs that they’re rubbing off on my second hand 40 years later

This is honestly so magical I love it. Also this isn’t actually a film but it’s fine - my mum and I watch it every Christmassss!!!!!! Omg but one downside to it is that there are really scary wolves and foxes in it which is 10000% where my fear of both wolves and foxes came from but it’s completely fine because everything else is just perfect.
