Trick or Cheat

About This Movie

Trick or Cheat from 1966 is an interesting little piece of animation that has a quirky charm. The story revolves around Stanley the Sorcerer, who’s trying to impress the Grand Wizard. It’s got that classic offbeat humor typical of the era, with Honey and Fraidy Bat adding a nice comical touch. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but that almost adds to its charm, drawing you into this whimsical world. The practical effects, while simple, have a raw quality that feels authentic. The character performances are playful, embodying that lighthearted spirit of 60s animation. It’s not your typical mainstream fare, but that's what makes it distinctive in a collector's eye.

Trick or Cheat has been somewhat elusive in terms of format releases, primarily existing on obscure VHS and a few limited DVD collections. The scarcity of well-preserved copies makes it quite interesting for collectors, as it doesn’t pop up often at conventions or online auctions. Its unique animation style and offbeat storytelling make it a curious topic of discussion among enthusiasts who appreciate the less commercial side of animation history.
