Candilicious

About This Movie

Candilicious (1987) is an intriguing piece, really. It’s an animated candy commercial, but it’s got this quirky charm that’s hard to ignore. The lyrics, playful and catchy, get stuck in your head—"chewy, delicious, bigger than your finger" has that sing-song quality that feels very much of its time. The animation was handled by some skilled folks at Playhouse Pictures, which gives it a certain vibrancy. The pacing is quick, typical for commercials, but there’s a certain rhythm to it that makes it enjoyable. It’s like a snapshot of the 80s candy culture, and the design—while perhaps not groundbreaking—has a distinct flair that resonates with nostalgia. A curious artifact for animation lovers, for sure.
