Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

BlazeLime Strong and Moving!

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Dianagenta I must have seen this right around when it was made, as a short before a longer movie. I don't remember what that movie was, but I remember Quasi! My sister and I often mention it. It was the most surreal, mind-bending thing I'd seen as a kid (preteen?), and at the time was so weird it was even a little disturbing, thought nothing in it was really scary. It was just that different. I I've wanted to see it again ever since. I have a preschooler now who watches Sesame Street, and there are animations on that show that seem like they *must* have been made by the same guy, I I miss Quasi all over again. I'd love to get my hands on a copy of this. I can't even tell you what it was about now, but it made a huge impact on me! If you get a chance to see this, do, even if you don't usually like animation.

scrabbler Wonderful, psychedelic short film about a lazy guy (Quasi) who fritters his time away at the Quackadero, which is a kind of crazy carnival. I last saw it in Cambridge at a little place called Off the Wall that showed really obscure short films. As I remember it, the animation is reminiscent of The Simpsons or Jonathan Katz - sort of shaky lines. The film was very atmospheric and kind of took you back to the early 70s. One of the funnier "exhibits" was the Past Lives Pavilion, where people could go to relive things that supposedly happened to them in earlier lives. I remember one poor guy with his wife watching himself in some kinky hotel room or something and saying at the end, "That never happened to me!" And yes, Sally did make several of the Sesame Street cel animated shorts. You can get her other films on a DVD from her website, funonmars.

jmt-8 I saw this in Seattle, WA about 1978. The animated short is about Quasi (a duck) and takes place (of what I can still recall) on a carnival midway that features rides such as "The Ego Trip" (where a plumber taking the ride exclaims "I'm the world's greatest plumber!", etc.) Quite imaginative and a short I would look forward to seeing again.

benswire I saw this once a long, long time ago, and, as I recall, the soundtrack was by The Mystic Knights, and sounded an awful lot like Danny Elfman's Band Oingo Boingo. I subsequently learned that Oingo Boingo once called themselves The Mystic Knights Of Oingo Boingo...
