Good Humor

About This Movie

So, 'Good Humor' is a neat little gem from 1979, directed by, well, no one anyone really knows. It's a Joe Ranft cartoon, and you can totally feel that whimsical charm throughout. The animation is quite simple, but it has this playful quality that’s hard to shake off. The pacing feels relaxed, almost like a gentle stroll through a candy store. There's a certain innocence that permeates the film, touching on themes of joy and indulgence in life’s little treats. Ranft's signature humor shines through, making it distinctive in its own right, though it remains a bit obscure in the grander landscape of animated features. The practical effects, while limited, add this quaint touch that feels very of its time.

'Good Humor' is somewhat elusive in collector circles, primarily because it was never widely released on home video formats. Most people might stumble upon it when exploring Ranft's body of work or during animation retrospectives. Its scarcity elevates its intrigue; finding an original print or any collectible memorabilia related to it can be a true treasure hunt for dedicated fans and collectors of animated shorts.
