Gag Buster

About This Movie

Gag Buster is a curious 1957 entry in the realm of animation, particularly within the Terrytoon catalog. The film features Spoofy, a lively little fox, who springs to life straight from the animator's board. What’s interesting here is how Spoofy goes toe-to-toe with a western gunslinger using an array of humorous props and gadgets. The pacing is brisk, keeping you engaged with the zany antics. The practical effects give it a charming feel that can be hard to find in modern animation. The atmosphere captures that playful spirit typical of the era, making it a notable piece for those interested in the evolution of animated humor. Not something you see every day, for sure.

Gag Buster is a somewhat elusive title among animation collectors, having seen limited releases over the years. Its presence on various formats is sporadic, with the original theatrical prints being particularly rare. Interest tends to spike around collectors of Terrytoons or those who appreciate the unique style and humor of this period. If you come across a copy, don’t let it slip by, as this one reflects a playful, creative side of animation history.
