A Kick in Time

About This Movie

A Kick in Time is a 1940 animated film produced by Fleischer Studios and National Telefilm Associates. This film features the character Spunky, who is kidnapped and sold at auction, while Hunky takes on the role of his rescuer.

A Kick in Time is a bit of a rarity in the animation collection world, with very few prints available and whispers of its existence often lost among other classics. Most collectors know it from low-quality television broadcasts, which makes finding a good condition copy quite a treasure. The scarcity and its unusual premise give it a niche appeal, especially for those who appreciate lesser-known animations from the Golden Age. There’s definitely a curiosity factor here that might intrigue animation enthusiasts looking to expand their collections.
