A Story

About This Movie

A Story (1987) is an intriguing blend of adventure and animation that captures the essence of childhood imagination. The narrative follows Melvin, a young boy whose vibrant escapades with Ted, a purple dinosaur from his television, are punctuated by a surreal contrast when they encounter Randy the Killer Clown and his gang. The atmosphere is whimsical yet dark, with a pacing that keeps you engaged, straddling that fine line between playful and unsettling. The practical effects, especially for the dinosaur, add a unique charm that feels distinctly '80s. Performances feel earnest, with a mix of humor and tension that makes this film stand out in its niche. It’s a curious watch for those who appreciate quirky animation from that era.
