Don't Stay Mad

About This Movie

So, 'Don't Stay Mad' is quite an oddity. You've got these children chatting about their feelings, but the atmosphere gets really interesting with the introduction of two puppets, Herky and Gooney. They’re not just there for show; their presence creates this unsettling yet oddly engaging vibe. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, bouncing between genuine moments of childhood angst and the unnerving antics of the puppets. It's like a peek into how kids process complex emotions, but with that creepy element that makes you both laugh and feel a bit on edge. The practical effects on the puppets are pretty unique, adding to that surreal quality that makes this film stand out in a collection.

This film seems to have a limited release history, making it somewhat rare among collectors. There are various formats available, but original copies are particularly sought after due to their scarcity. The unusual blend of childhood themes with an eerie undertone draws interest from those who appreciate unique takes on children's media. It's not often you find something that plays with emotions and puppetry in quite this way.
