School Disco

Bob mentions in his review that SCHOOL DISCO contains " Crude animation " . In many ways this is very typical of British animation and the visuals reminded me very strongly of the mid 1970s cartoon ROOBARB AND CUSTARD the way the characters pulsate , so I think the crudity is deliberate

While not being satirical the humour is somewhat well observed except for the aspect that no one is very sadistic . Come on admit it that there's often some high spirited people at school discos who perhaps have a few drinks before hand and then think it's a good idea to write libelous graffiti on the toilet walls about the sexual habits of both teachers and pupils ! That said it's very well observed that the most reactionary and puritanical teacher is in charge of the music play list who pulls the plug on records that contain innuendo like Lady by Adam And The Ants

I also noticed the soundtrack is something of a pastiche . We have something resembling I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor while the last record played is a smoochy number very similar to Chris De Burgh's Lady In Red . All in all SCHOOL DISCO is well observed without being laugh out loud
