Sacré Bleu Cross

About This Movie

Sacré Bleu Cross is this quirky 1967 animated flick that really captures a certain offbeat charm. The animation style is characteristically vibrant for its time, mixing some surreal visuals with a playful tone. You’ll find a mix of humor and intrigue as Deux-Deux and the Inspector stumble through their misadventures. It’s almost like a whimsical jazz score—light and airy at times, but with an underlying tension, especially when Hassan the Assassin is involved. The pacing feels a bit uneven, but that kind of adds to its charm, making it an interesting watch. The rabbit's foot gag is particularly memorable—talk about a twist of fate! It’s not your typical animation, and that’s exactly what makes it stand out.

Sacré Bleu Cross has had a somewhat limited release history, with few home video formats available, making it a rarity among collectors. The film's unique animation style and strange humor have cultivated a niche following, yet it remains obscure enough that it often gets overlooked in discussions of 1960s animation. If you come across a copy, especially in good condition, it can spark some interesting conversations among fellow collectors who appreciate its distinctiveness.
