Folly Bears

About This Movie

Folly Bears is an interesting piece from 1973, even if the director is a bit of a mystery. The animation style has this unique hand-drawn quality that feels nostalgic, almost like a lost treasure from the early days of indie animation. The pacing is a little uneven, sometimes meandering but that gives it a certain charm. It’s got these whimsical, surreal moments that blend humor and a hint of absurdity, which can be pretty appealing if you’re into that sort of thing. Despite the lack of a defined plot, the visuals and the quirky characters keep it engaging – there's just something distinctive about its overall vibe that draws you in, you know?

Folly Bears has been somewhat elusive on home video, with only a few limited releases over the years, which has kept its collector appeal alive. The scarcity of decent-quality prints makes it a sought-after title for animation enthusiasts. It's one of those films that can spark interesting conversations about forgotten gems in animation history, giving it a special place in any collector's library.
