Child Proof

About This Movie

Child Proof is this quirky little gem from '84 that really stands out in the animation scene, though surprisingly, the director is a mystery. The film tells the story of a sickly elephant father, and it's all about his struggle with this jar of aspirin. It’s funny, but not in a slapstick way—there’s this subtle, almost poignant undertone about the challenges of parenting, especially when you’re under the weather. The pacing is just right, allowing moments of absurdity to breathe without overstaying their welcome. It’s a unique blend of humor and heart, showcasing some practical effects that give it that hand-crafted charm. Definitely a distinctive piece that doesn't fit neatly into any one box.
