Binky and Boo

About This Movie

Binky and Boo is this offbeat gem from '87 that dives into the world of a music hall entertainer—an interesting premise, really. The animation has this quirky style that matches the absurdity of the plot. The pacing is a bit erratic, but it fits the theme of pushing limits in showbiz. You can see the influence of old vaudeville acts, which adds to its charm. The characters are vibrant and a tad exaggerated, making the whole thing feel like a surreal dream at times. It’s not just about laughs; there's an undercurrent of desperation that can feel poignant. Plus, the practical effects used in some sequences lend a certain texture that you don’t often find in animated films. Definitely stands apart from more conventional animations.

Distinctive animation style reminiscent of classic vaudeville. · Explores the extremes performers go to for their craft. · Offers a unique mix of humor and poignant moments.
