Hippydrome Tiger

About This Movie

Hippydrome Tiger is one of those curious gems from the late '60s, blending animation and comedy with a peculiar charm. The story follows Cool Cat racing in Le Mans, but it’s the antics of Colonel Rimfire and his robotic elephant that really stand out. The pacing is frenetic, full of slapstick humor and clever gags, which gives it a light-hearted yet chaotic vibe. The animation style is somewhat reminiscent of the era, with vibrant colors and quirky character designs that feel both nostalgic and unpolished. It's definitely distinct for the way it combines racing with wild animal antics, creating a unique atmosphere that’s hard to find in more mainstream animations of its time.

Hippydrome Tiger has had a somewhat uneven release history, making it a bit of a treasure hunt for collectors. Early VHS copies are rare, and it hasn't seen a proper digital restoration yet, which adds to its scarcity and allure. The film appeals to those interested in obscure animations from the '60s, and the oddball nature of its plot and characters has garnered a niche audience in collectors' circles.
