The Big Time (1990) is an interesting piece of animation that captures a certain whimsical chaos. The story revolves around this spoiled rich kid, who's quite fixated on breaking his piggy bank with a large hammer. It's a unique premise that reflects themes of consumerism and childhood entitlement, often sprinkled with a dose of dark humor. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but that oddly adds to its charm, making it feel like a fever dream of sorts. While the animation might not be the most refined, there's a kind of rawness to it that gives off a handmade vibe. Definitely not your typical animated fare, which makes it stand out in discussions about '90s animation.
