Think or Sink

About This Movie

Think or Sink is a curious little piece from 1967 that showcases some of the unique charm of mid-century animation. The plot revolves around Roscoe, an elephant who believes that his thoughts can allow him to perform incredible feats like walking on water and skating. It’s lighthearted, whimsical, and has that classic Terrytoons vibe, thanks to the story by Jim Tyler. The pacing is playful, which suits the animation style of the time, blending humor with lighter philosophical undertones about belief and perception. The animation itself is a bit simplistic yet endearing, with characters that are expressive despite the modest design. It’s a neat snapshot of a bygone era in animation, standing out for its imaginative premise and charm.

Think or Sink is a bit of a rarity in the animation collector's realm, often overshadowed by more prominent titles from the same era. While not extensively released across various formats, it does find its niche with collectors who appreciate the less heralded works of Terrytoons and Shamus Culhane. There's a certain charm to its modest distribution, making it a sought-after gem for those who dive deep into the animation archives.
