Surface Surf Aces is this intriguing little animation from 1970 that gives off a certain charm, quite unlike anything else in its era. You can sense the playful vibe, almost childlike, yet there’s an undercurrent of absurdity throughout. The pacing feels relaxed, inviting the viewer to just enjoy the ride, rather than rush to the end. It’s a short from the Possible Possum series, and the practical effects, though limited by the time, have a hand-crafted quality that adds to its distinct feel. The characters, with their exaggerated designs, lend an oddball atmosphere that kind of sticks with you. You won’t find much on this title, which adds to its allure for collectors, especially those who appreciate offbeat animations from this period.
This title is somewhat of a rarity among animation enthusiasts, especially given its origin as a Possible Possum short, which isn’t as widely circulated. The formats are limited, with some collectors keen on the original reels, though copies may surface occasionally. It often attracts those who appreciate the quirks of early animation, making it a niche but sought-after piece in certain circles.
