The Making of Me

About This Movie

The Making of Me is an interesting blend of animation and documentary, with Martin Short’s distinctive narrative style steering the ship. The film takes a rather frank look at the subjects of sex, conception, and childbirth, all wrapped up in a family-friendly package. What sets it apart is its willingness to tackle topics that are often shrouded in awkwardness, all while maintaining a light-hearted tone. The animation is charming, complementing Short's comedic delivery. It really feels like a time capsule of late '80s sensibilities, mixing education with humor in a way that doesn't feel forced. It’s certainly not your standard animated fare, and that's what makes it worth discussing among collectors.
