Polygamous Polonius Revisited

About This Movie

So, Polygamous Polonius Revisited, right? Bob Godfrey took a stab at revising his own classic with this 1985 animation. It's got that quirky, offbeat charm that's kind of his signature. The pacing feels playful, with Thatcher's lecture interspersed with this oddball romance involving a miner – it's as absurd as it sounds. The animation style is classic Godfrey, with a handmade feel that somehow gives it a unique character. Themes of love, politics, and the absurdity of social norms are woven throughout, lending it a satirical edge. You can’t help but notice how it blends a kind of cheeky humor with a critique of the era's social dynamics, making it distinct in the landscape of 80s animation.
