Cool Cat

About This Movie

So, Cool Cat is this quirky little animated gem from '67 that feels like a strange blend of whimsy and absurdity. The premise, with Colonel Rimfire hunting Cool Cat inside a mechanical elephant, really sets the tone for some offbeat humor and colorful animation. The pacing is a bit uneven, with some segments dragging while others zip by with a frenetic energy. The characters are really distinctive, especially Cool Cat himself, who embodies that laid-back beatnik vibe. It’s interesting how they mix action with comedy, creating a unique atmosphere that can only be described as psychedelic in some parts. You can’t help but appreciate the practical effects they used, which give it a certain charm, even if it’s not always smooth.

Cool Cat has seen a few releases over the years, but finding a good copy can be a bit of a challenge, especially in decent condition. The animation style has a certain retro aesthetics that collectors appreciate, but it's not as mainstream as other titles from the era. Interest seems to be on the rise among niche collectors, particularly those who dig into lesser-known animations from the '60s. It's a curious addition for anyone looking to broaden their collection with something that strays from the conventional path.
