Smoking: The Choice is Yours

About This Movie

So, 'Smoking: The Choice is Yours' is an interesting little piece from 1981. It’s this animated short by Disney that dives into the whole smoking debate, using humor and a Western theme. The animation style has that classic Disney charm, but it’s not your typical fare; the pacing feels brisk, almost like a lively cartoon. The characters are exaggerated, which adds to the comedic effect, all while delivering a serious message about smoking. It’s kind of quirky how it blends educational content with entertainment. You can tell they were aiming for a light-hearted yet informative tone. The practical effects, especially in the animation, showcase that distinctive Disney craftsmanship, making it stand out among other educational films of the time.
