The Great Closure

About This Movie

The Great Closure is a curious gem from 1985 that's not widely known but definitely has its own charm. The animation is quite unique, blending a bit of whimsy with a touch of surrealism. You've got these characters—Elephant, Boa, Monkey, and Parrot—who are on this bizarre quest to close the law of attraction, which is a pretty abstract concept to tackle in an animated format. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that adds to its quirky vibe. The practical effects used for the characters give them a tangible feel, which is rare for that era. The performances, albeit not from household names, really bring the characters to life in a way that feels earnest and genuine. It’s a film that feels like a fever dream at times, but it definitely stands out for its ambition and creativity.
