So, 'How to Lose Weight' from 1986—an obscure gem, really. This animated sci-fi piece captures the oddities of H.G. Wells' story, 'The Truth About Pycraft.' It’s got a quirky vibe, blending humor with a satirical take on dieting and societal expectations. The animation style, while dated, has a certain charm, almost reminiscent of early 90s cartoons. Pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to its weirdness. You really feel the absurdity of the weight loss journey depicted here. The practical effects, particularly in the transformation sequences, are worth noting—they're crude but have their own unique appeal. It's a film that might not have mainstream recognition, yet it offers a refreshing perspective on body image.
