The Floating Apple

About This Movie

So, 'The Floating Apple' from 1988 is quite the oddball in the animation family genre. The story follows this gopher who's caught up in a whirlwind of greed and hoarding, which leads to some pretty wild misfortunes. The animation style is a bit quirky, not your typical polished look, which gives it a unique charm. The pacing meanders a bit, capturing that whimsical yet cautionary tone about the pitfalls of excess. It has some practical effects that stand out, especially for its time, lending it a tangible feel. And while the performances aren't necessarily what you’d call groundbreaking, they have a certain earnestness that fits the narrative. Definitely a conversation starter for collectors who appreciate the less mainstream works of the era.
