Jumpin' Jacques Splash is this quirky little gem from 1988 that dives into the realm of computer animation in a way that's both charming and bizarre. A lighter and cigarette become unlikely romantic leads, exploring themes of forbidden love in a very offbeat and surreal manner. The animation, while primitive by today's standards, has a certain raw charm that gives it a unique atmosphere. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but that just adds to its quirky nature. There's a palpable tension in their relationship, which is surprisingly engaging, and the way they interact offers some subtle commentary on societal norms. It's definitely a film that stands out for its odd premise and playful execution.
