Sadly Over-hyped

ridiculous rating

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

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.
