Tiki Tiki

About This Movie

Tiki Tiki is one of those quirky treasures that feels like a secret found in the depths of a forgotten film vault. With its oddball mix of animation and snippets from Soviet sci-fi, it creates this kaleidoscopic atmosphere that’s both whimsical and surreal. The pacing can be a bit erratic, yet it’s part of its charm, keeping you guessing what’s next. Themes of creativity versus skepticism play out through the lens of a producer monkey – it’s as bizarre as it sounds. The practical effects have this raw, handmade quality that gives it a unique texture. You might either love it or question it, but that's what makes it distinctive in the realm of animated adventures.

Tiki Tiki has a somewhat obscure presence in collector circles, often overlooked yet appreciated for its avant-garde style. It was released in limited formats, making original prints quite rare. The mix of animation with live-action elements keeps it intriguing for collectors who enjoy the unconventional. There's a niche interest growing around this film, particularly for those drawn to experimental cinema from the 70s.
