Why so much hype?

Great Film overall

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This is a visually striking public service cartoon produced by the Halas & Batchelor organization about the effects of alcohol on the brain and personality. Director Philip Stapp has a short IMDb listing, most notable for script work on the animated version of ANIMAL FARM and the heavy-handed script of this animated warning against the evils of the demon rum is on a par with that feature.The Halases had to contend with inflation and the difficulties of producing cartoons and, like UPA in America, often made a virtue of stern necessity. They concentrated on minimal animation and beautiful impressionist and semi-abstract art, which works well here. As an occasional drinker, I only wish their sponsors and they had felt comfortable with a less strident script.
