About This Movie

Hoomania is this intriguing blend of animation and family storytelling from '85 that really captures a whimsical sense of adventure. Directed by Rick Garside, the film introduces us to Kris, who gets pulled into a vibrant board game where each character, like the Dodo Bird, has its own quirky charm. The animation style has a certain roughness that gives it character, making it feel almost hand-crafted. It’s all about escapism and the innocence of childhood—Kris's journey reflects the struggles of facing one’s mistakes. The pacing is a bit uneven, but the colorful visuals and imaginative world really draw you in. It's definitely a unique piece that stands out from the more polished animations of the era.
