Clifton

About This Movie

So, 'Clifton' from 1984 – it's an interesting beast. The animation style is quite unique, a bit rough around the edges but that gives it a certain charm. The pacing feels deliberate, like it wants you to really absorb the quirks of Sir Harold Wilberforce Clifton as he stumbles his way through amateur sleuthing. The humor is dry, often layered beneath the surface. Themes of duty and a sort of whimsical take on espionage really stand out as Clifton, a retired Secret Service agent, finds himself tangled in mysteries that feel both quaint and oddly engaging. It's not your typical detective story, and that's what makes it distinctive, in my opinion. Worth a watch for sure, particularly for animation enthusiasts.
