Kama Sutra Rides Again

About This Movie

Kama Sutra Rides Again is one of those quirky animated shorts that really stands out from the pack. Directed by the often-overlooked Bob Godfrey, it uses offbeat humor and a playful approach to animation that feels very much of its time. The pacing is brisk, moving from one cheeky scenario to the next, with a certain charm in its handmade aesthetic. The themes are cheeky, flirting with adult concepts while keeping it light-hearted and fun. It's not every day you come across an Oscar-nominated short that blends animation with a sense of British irreverence. The practical effects, while simple, create a unique visual language that stays with you long after watching. Just a fun piece to have in a collection.

Kama Sutra Rides Again has enjoyed a somewhat limited release history, which adds to its appeal for collectors. Originally released in the early '70s, finding a good quality print can be a bit of a challenge. The rarity factor, combined with its Oscar nomination, ensures that it piques the interest of those who appreciate the nuances of animation history. It's also worth noting that Godfrey's work often flies under the radar, making this short a unique gem for anyone focused on British animation.
