So, 'The Ostriches' from 1987 is this quirky animated piece that’s got a kind of offbeat charm. You know, the animation style feels a bit like those early Saturday morning cartoons, with a blend of whimsy and absurdity. The pacing meanders, allowing these two characters to concoct all sorts of elaborate traps to catch an ostrich, which, honestly, feels more like a comical misadventure than a straightforward plot. The themes about ambition versus the futility of their pursuits are lightly touched upon but with a playful tone that keeps it engaging. The practical effects, if you can call them that in animation, have a raw, handmade quality that feels distinct. Definitely a curious find for anyone who appreciates obscure animations and their oddities.
