What makes it different from others?

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Let's get some things straight, this movie ain't for those sensitive types of people. Hell no, "Little Johnny the Movie" aims to outrageously make people cringe at the sounds of those aimless jokes.Vulgarity aside, this movie is pretty funny. Jokes about sex, love, family, and whole lot of other stuff make it worthwhile to watch. It's like an Australian version of South Park but doesn't seem too preachy. The movie doesn't take itself too seriously which makes it more fun. It has silly moments and even sillier characters.Now the plot itself is simple enough. Johnny wants to win the Soapbox Derby to buy himself a bike to win over his love. But problems arose when his Uncle has no more money for the farm and Johnny's intentions on winning suddenly shift to saving his uncle's life.The accents may ward off some viewers though. You can clearly hear the thick Australian accents from the voice actors which may confuse some. But aside from that, this movie is a recommended viewing over and over again.

Before watching this Comedy Animation i was just expecting a weak movie but when i see it I found out that this is one of the greatest Comedy Animation titles that of course you can enjoy but it certainly isn't suitable for children because of it's content . This animation is full of the jokes that we all are interested in . Besides what this movie is trying to show is not just what it looks like . It has a whole different main idea that it wanna show the effort of a boy who is trying to win a race and be able to purchase his favorite Bicycle and help his uncle. Except the Simple Graphic work , This Movie is just Beautiful and Of course they have a long way to make this movies general.

Stumbling across this little gem I was surprised by it's originality and wonderful setting which feels like the cartoons of the 50's 60's without updating material for the the sake of being 'cool'. Those who remember the sixties will find much here that is pleasantly familiar, from characters, design, music, and socio political attitudes of the time (some of them not particularly politically correct). The gags come thick and fast and perhaps, you may have heard some of them before in one variation or another but there are others that you don't see coming and they're great! For any fan of the jokes you will not be disappointed and for those who don't, it may not be for you. The documentary style intro is a unique approach to this kind material and ingeniously sets up the lead characters and inserts them into the storyline set in a bizarre outback Australian town known as Gallangatta. The plot is simple, saccharine sweet and imbued with an innocence that offsets the otherwise bawdy humor. Little Johnny becomes convinced that if he wins a soapbox derby that he will be also able to to win the heart of Little Mary, the classroom beauty. Along the way, his Uncle, Kevin, offers him well intentioned but hilariously misguided and inappropriate advice. The Australian accents are thick and full of colloquialisms that may alienate some viewers but at the same time make this a genuine oddity that celebrates not only the jokes but an era when these types of jokes were only told behind closed doors and with impolite company! A very funny throwback from the good old wrong days!

We've all heard some of those "little Johnny" jokes; now we can discover their origin. Little Johnny is a new animated biopic cum mockumentary that discovers the "real boy" behind the jokes, and also looks at his dysfunctional family that provided the inspiration for much of the timeless humour. The film itself is the brainchild of Ralph Moser, his co-director Dean Murphy, and screenwriter Stewart Fainchey, who have a long established partnership. The three have worked together on a number of films, including two with Paul Hogan - Strange Bedfellows and the recent Charlie And Boots. Moser comes from a background in production design, having worked on a number of local productions, including Let's Get Skase, Sensitive New Age Killer, Hating Alison Ashley, and Till Human Voices Wake Us. Moser also experienced working on large scale Hollywood productions, including Where The Wild Things Are, which was filmed in Melbourne, and Russell Mulcahy's television remake of On The Beach. He makes his directorial debut with Little Johnny, and his background certainly helps shape the look of the film. Little Johnny is deliberately very retro in style, and the animation is reminiscent of those old Merry Melodies cartoons and Saturday afternoon matinees. This is in keeping with the old fashioned feel of the film, which is set in a more innocent time. However, Little Johnny is certainly not for young kids, given the level of profanity, and ribald adult humour. This is more Fritz The Cat than Bugs Bunny! Little Johnny is set in the small town of Gallangatta, and introduces us to Johnny, his younger brother and his ultra-conservative parents. The film itself is little more than a string of jokes – many of them rude, most familiar, and some very funny. Thus we get Johnny at home, Johnny at school, Johnny hanging out with his best friend Roger, and Johnny down on the farm with his uncle Kev. These scenarios all lend themselves effortlessly to a string of punch lines. But what passes for narrative here offers another variation on the classic coming of age tale as Johnny tries to win the affection of classmate Mary (voiced by Eloise Grace), and woo her away from his rival, the handsome rebel Jason. His only chance of success is by winning the annual billy cart race. And his mentor Uncle Kevin tries to save his farm from becoming insolvent due to his inability to repay a bank loan. Legendary comedian Kevin Wilson provides the voice of Uncle Kev, who swears like a trooper, and he is basically playing himself on screen as a lovable Australian larrikin. In much the same way that Nancy Cartwright provides the distinctive voice for Bart Simpson in the long running cartoon series, a female provides the voice for the title character here. Genevieve Morris, who is better known to television audiences as Barbara in the series of ANZ bank ads, is perfectly cast as little Johnny, and plays him with an irreverent sense of humour that is engaging. Little Johnny has its flaws, but many will find it a moderately amusing film.
