High But Not Dry

About This Movie

High But Not Dry is this quirky animation from 1967 that takes a whimsical approach to a rather dry situation—literally. It revolves around Honey Halfwitch, who’s tasked with making rain for her garden. The animation style is charmingly dated, with a handmade vibe that’s kind of refreshing to see today. The pacing is a bit erratic, which gives it an offbeat feel, matching its playful narrative. The themes of resourcefulness and friendship are woven throughout, though the standout is definitely Honey's inventive spirit. It's fascinating how the film captures that era's innocence and humor, making it a delightful watch, albeit not without its peculiarities.

High But Not Dry has a certain charm that appeals to niche collectors who appreciate vintage animation. The film has seen limited releases, making it somewhat scarce, especially on physical media. Interest tends to be from those who relish the oddities of 60s animation and the unique narrative styles of the time. Over the years, it's developed a small but dedicated following that values its whimsical storytelling and distinct artistic choices.
