Goggles!

About This Movie

Goggles! is one of those quirky little gems from the mid-70s animation scene that captures the essence of childhood adventure. The story revolves around two boys who stumble upon a pair of lensless motorcycle goggles, setting off a whimsical chase with some local older kids. The pacing is quite brisk, maintaining an engaging rhythm while the animation style has a charming hand-drawn quality that feels refreshingly simple. There’s a palpable sense of nostalgia in the air, not just for the adventure but for the innocence of youth. It’s the kind of film that evokes memories of backyard escapades and childhood rivalries, making it stand out in a sea of more polished animated features from the era.

Goggles! has a bit of a scarcity in terms of physical copies, likely due to its niche appeal and the era it comes from. While it hasn't gained mainstream attention over the years, collectors appreciate it for its distinctive animation style and the nostalgia it evokes. Various formats have appeared, but good quality prints are harder to find, which can make it an interesting piece for those looking to delve into lesser-known animated works of the 70s.
