About This Movie
The Daymaker from 1982 is quite an oddity in the realm of animation. You've got this offbeat story about Sol, an eccentric inventor who thinks he can bend the rules of nature and control daytime. The pacing is kind of erratic, which adds to its quirky charm. The hand-drawn animation style has a unique feel, very much reflective of the era, with a certain rawness that newer films lack. The practical effects have this tangible quality that makes scenes pop in a way digital can't replicate. It's a film that feels like a fever dream; whimsical yet oddly contemplative about the nature of time and invention. Not everyone's cup of tea, but definitely distinctive for those who appreciate the unconventional.
