The Real Story of Humpty Dumpty

About This Movie

So, The Real Story of Humpty Dumpty, released in 1990, is this odd little animated flick that takes a familiar nursery rhyme and spins it into something quite different. The animation style has a certain charm, though it feels kind of dated now. Humpty, an egg that’s more than just a simple character, wrestles with themes of acceptance and the pitfalls of fame—quite the journey for an egg, right? The pacing can be a bit uneven, but the quirky humor and peculiar characters, like Glitch the Witch, keep you engaged. The practical effects for the time are notable too, giving the film a unique visual appeal. It's a whimsical and somewhat dark take on a classic tale, and it really stands out in the sea of family animations from that era.
