Pay Your Buffalo Bill

About This Movie

Pay Your Buffalo Bill is one of those quirky animations from the early '70s that flies under the radar. The storyline follows Hoot Kloot, who’s got a bit of a conundrum on his hands trying to nab Crazywolf for peddling medicine without the proper papers. It’s funny, sure, but the pacing feels a bit off at times - almost like they were just rolling with ideas as they went. The animation style has this distinctive charm, a little rough around the edges which gives it that unique vibe of old-school cartoons. The themes of authority and trickery resonate despite its light-hearted approach, and Hoot’s antics, especially when he’s under the influence of that fast-wearing-off medicine, add a fun layer to the narrative.

Pay Your Buffalo Bill is a bit of a rarity, not often discussed in collector circles but has its charm for those who appreciate vintage animation. Originally released on various home video formats, it's not as widely available now, which might make it an interesting find for enthusiasts. Its scarcity has led to a growing interest among collectors who enjoy the quirks of 70s animation, and it often pops up at niche film fairs or through specialized online forums.
