Family Planning

About This Movie

Family Planning (1967) is a curious little piece of animation that dives into the complexities of what it means to plan a family. The tone is a blend of whimsical and informative, with that classic Disney charm that makes it feel accessible, though sometimes a bit clinical. Pacing is brisk, and the visuals are simple yet effective, relying on practical animation techniques that give it a tactile feel. While it may not have the lavish production values of feature films, it offers an interesting glimpse into social themes of the time—family structure and responsibility. It’s distinct in how it approaches a sensitive subject with a light touch, making for a fascinating watch for collectors interested in the evolution of animated storytelling.

Family Planning has seen limited distribution, making original prints somewhat scarce among collectors. It was primarily released in educational settings, which adds to its rarity in home collections. Given its unique subject matter and historical context, it garners interest for those focused on Disney's lesser-known works. Be prepared for a bit of a hunt if you're after a copy—it's not the easiest find.
