Les Boys

About This Movie

Les Boys is a quirky piece of animation that mixes comedy with a bit of adventure. The pacing is tight, with Shorty's frantic attempts to wake Swifty, which really captures that feeling of urgency. You can kind of feel the old-school animation style in the visuals, there's a certain charm to it, and it delivers laughs without overstaying its welcome. The themes of friendship and perseverance resonate throughout, especially as Shorty goes to such lengths to ensure they make it to the lake. It’s like a snapshot of carefree days and camaraderie, wrapped up in vibrant colors and lively character designs.

Les Boys has had a bit of a complicated distribution history, making it somewhat elusive for collectors. The film was originally released on various formats but hasn’t seen a wide reissue lately, which adds to its scarcity. Interest seems to be growing, especially among fans of vintage animation and those who appreciate the peculiarities of mid-'60s humor.
