Entertaining Short

Storytime (1968)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

This early animated short from Terry Gilliam is just as weird and bizarre as you'd expect from him. We start off hearing about an adorable cockroach who enjoys being a cockroach but then that story comes to an end. We then hear the story of Albert Einstein and how none of his neighbors liked him before switching stories to one about a holiday.

STORYTIME isn't necessarily a film I "enjoyed" but at the same time it was so nutty that I couldn't help but be mildly amused by it. The animation itself is quite good but there's just something rather annoying about it that kept me from being more entertained. The nutty manor in which the two final stories are told just didn't sit well with me but I did enjoy the opening sequence with the cockroach. It's fascinating to see that Gilliam showed the same flare in his early work that he would in some of his better known movies.
