TV Sale

About This Movie

TV Sale is a fascinating piece of 1970s animation that combines sharp satire with a quirky sense of humor. The film kicks off with a fast-paced pitch from a television salesman that really sets the stage for its critique of consumer culture and the questionable quality of TV programming at the time. It’s a bit grim and absurd in places, making you chuckle while also feeling a bit uneasy about the realities of media consumption. The animation style has this raw, handmade quality that adds to its charm and the pacing keeps you engaged without dragging on too long. Overall, it’s a unique, if somewhat unsettling, reflection on the era's media landscape.

TV Sale has become a cult curiosity among collectors due to its rarity and the unique blend of animation and dark humor. While not widely circulated, it does pop up occasionally at animation festivals and niche collections. It was originally released on VHS, but finding a decent copy can be a bit tricky, as many collectors are after it for its commentary on television. Its scarcity adds an interesting layer to the collecting experience, making it a talking piece among enthusiasts.
