Sky Scrappers

About This Movie

Sky Scrappers is an interesting blend of animation and comedy from 1957. The film follows Herman and his little cousins as they navigate the chaotic world of finding new housing after their building gets demolished. It’s got this nice atmosphere of light-hearted desperation, and the pacing flows well, keeping the gags coming without overstaying their welcome. What stands out here is the practical animation style, giving it a bit of a vintage charm. And then there's Katnip, who adds that familiar mischief that fans of the genre might appreciate. It really captures the essence of the era’s animation, with a slightly zany yet charming vibe throughout.

Sky Scrappers has had a bit of an uneven journey in terms of format availability. Original prints seem quite scarce, and there’s definitely a burgeoning interest from collectors who appreciate the unique animation style of the mid-20th century. It's not often you come across this title, especially in good condition, which adds to its allure for those who delve into the gems of that era. Keep an eye out for any VHS or even DVD releases that pop up, as they’re not as common as one might think.
