Animag

About This Movie

Animag is a curious little piece, really. It’s a trio of short promos made for the Sci-Fi Channel, each encapsulating that quirky, experimental spirit of animation that the late '90s and early 2000s toyed with. The tone is a mix of playful and odd, almost like a fever dream where the boundaries of reality bend just enough to make you think. Each segment has its own pacing, some quick and frenetic, others a bit more laid back, but they all share a surreal atmosphere. The practical effects, though limited by the budget, have this raw charm. It’s distinctive because it feels like a window into a niche part of TV history, where animation wasn’t just for kids, but a medium to explore strange ideas.

Animag is a rare find as it only circulated through specific broadcasts and limited releases. The scarcity of copies has sparked collector interest, especially for those who appreciate niche animations and the unique storytelling styles of that era. It's not easy to come by, and if you’re lucky enough to find a copy, it often comes with a sense of nostalgia for those who remember the Sci-Fi Channel's earlier days.
