About This Movie

I Want My Mummy is this curious gem from 1966, characterized by its quirky animation style that feels both offbeat and charming. The plot, revolving around Jose's comical misadventures with a penny and a relentless bird, unfolds with a whimsical pacing. There’s a certain lighthearted absurdity to the themes of desire and disappointment that resonates in a playful way. The practical effects, though simple, add to the film's unique character, giving it a handmade vibe that’s hard to replicate. It's one of those films that invites you to embrace the absurdity of everyday moments, offering a distinct perspective that’s not easily forgotten.

I Want My Mummy, being a lesser-known animated short, has somewhat limited release formats which makes it a curious find for collectors.

Copies can be quite scarce, especially in good condition, often found in specialized collections or obscure compilations that cater to niche audiences.
