The Train Gang is a somewhat obscure piece from 1986, crafted as a theatrical short for Canadian Tire Corporation. It's an animated short that boasts a quirky charm, capturing that 80s vibe with its colorful visuals and engaging characters. The tone is light-hearted, yet there's an underlying warmth that appeals to nostalgia. The pacing is brisk, typical for shorts, but it feels just right for the story it tells. What stands out are the practical effects – they really had that tactile feel, which is somewhat rare in animation today. It’s not just a promo; it feels like a small slice of life, with themes of community and cooperation that resonate subtly throughout. Definitely one for collectors who appreciate the less mainstream gems.
