animation a it should be . those who trash it be too use to the pixar style . they forget that at one time people have to actually draw this stuff . this animation style be last used in pinochio . that about 40 year . i saw this a a midnight hit in new jersey back in 82. finally get the dvd in japan this year . bargain price too . brilliant stuff . remind me of the early issue . also seem like issue of creepy or eerie at time . i have the most fun try to identify the sctv star ( john candy and joe flaherty and eugene levy and harold ramis ) voice .
