Adventures of Lat & Long

About This Movie

So, 'Adventures of Lat & Long' is this quirky short that really feels like a playful echo of the era's fantasy and mystery genres. Its charm lies in its oddball humor and whimsical storytelling, which is very much a product of its time. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add a certain charm that enhances the film’s offbeat atmosphere. The performances are spirited, with a lightheartedness that carries throughout its brief runtime. You can tell it was made with an educational intent, but it manages to be entertaining in its own right, making it a peculiar gem within the larger context of 'Meadowlark Lemon Presents The World.'

This film has a bit of a scarcity factor, mainly due to its limited release as part of a larger educational project. Most collectors will find it nestled within the compilation of 'Meadowlark Lemon Presents The World,' which adds to its intrigue. While it doesn’t pop up often at auctions, when it does, there seems to be a niche interest from those who appreciate the oddities of 70s educational cinema.
