Sundae in New York

About This Movie

So, 'Sundae in New York' is this quirky, clay-animated gem from 1983 that really captures the spirit of the city in a unique way. The animation is all done in this delightful, if slightly crude, clay style that gives it a handmade feel. The pacing is a bit loose, but that adds to its charm, letting you soak in the various NYC locales and celebrity cameos. The character that resembles Ed Koch singing a twist on the classic 'New York, New York' adds a layer of humor and satire that’s interesting, especially given the time it was made. It’s definitely not your standard animation fare, and the way it uses practical effects gives it a distinctive, almost nostalgic vibe. Worth a watch if you appreciate the oddities of animation history.

Unique clay animation style that stands out.Humorous take on NYC with a political twist.Preserved by the Academy Film Archive, worth noting.
