About This Movie
So, 'Eight Immortals and the Flea' is this curious little animated feature from 1988 that really dives into Chinese mythology. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but that adds to its charm, I think. The Eight Immortals, each with their unique flair, journey through the East China Sea, facing all sorts of challenges. The animation style - rough around the edges but quite expressive - has this handmade quality that you just don't see in modern films. It's not about high production values; it's more about the story and those quirky character interactions. And let’s not forget the practical effects which, while simple, manage to create a unique atmosphere that pulls you right in. Definitely a piece that stands out in the realm of 80s animation.
