New Big Troubles

About This Movie

So, New Big Troubles is this intriguing piece from 1973 that's often overlooked in animation circles. The tone feels playful yet carries this undercurrent of surrealism that can be quite striking. The pacing is a bit uneven, at times dragging but it adds to the quirky charm, I think. The practical effects, though limited, have a certain handmade quality that gives the film a distinctive character. The animation style is definitely reminiscent of the era, with vibrant colors and somewhat erratic designs that can either draw you in or leave you scratching your head. It's a curious blend of humor and oddity, which makes it stand out in a sea of more polished animations from that time.

New Big Troubles has had a bit of a rough ride in terms of availability. Original prints seem scarce, and it’s often found in lesser quality transfers on various formats. Despite this, collectors show a growing interest, especially those who appreciate the rarer gems of animation history. The film’s uniqueness and its blend of odd humor make it a curious conversation piece among enthusiasts.
