These Savage Cowboys

About This Movie

These Savage Cowboys is a quirky blend of animation and comedy set against a Western backdrop. The pacing feels almost leisurely, as the two old cowboys, Bill and John, keep getting sidetracked by various distractions, from a sudden sneeze to enticing kitchen aromas. It’s interesting how the film plays with the idea of conflict and anticipation, only to humorously delay the showdown. The animation style has that retro charm, with a distinct look that gives it character. It's a strange mix of themes, really—distracted masculinity, the absurdity of rivalry, and the joys of simple pleasures, all packed into a short runtime. The performances, albeit animated, bring a certain warmth that complements the offbeat humor.

These Savage Cowboys has had a somewhat elusive release history, with few copies floating around in collector circles. It seems to have only seen limited distribution, which contributes to its rarity. The animation style and humor appeal to niche tastes, so it garners interest from those who appreciate offbeat or lesser-known animated films. Keep an eye out for original prints, as they can be hard to find and are often sought after for their unique charm.
