    Flawed Masterpiece

    Richard Willaims is an animation god. He was hampered in directing this film by the producer. The final product is a very uneven film with a very convoluted story, but some amazing moments of animation (like Emery Hawkins' "Greedy"). Joe Raposo's repetitive music doesn't help either. It was made in wide screen so the VHS doesn't show it in all it's glory, let's hope for a letterboxed DVD someday. Still it's worth watching for some eye popping animation.

    Good when little, trippy now

    I own an incredibly battered copy of this movie, which leads me to believe that I loved it when I was maybe 6 or 8, but looking back from my young adulthood, I can't say I enjoy it as much. It sat on a shelf for a few years before I dusted it off to reminisce with a movie that I remember loving so much, especially because the main voice was also the woman from Shining Time Station (another kiddie fave). But I soon found that 80% of the scenes made me feel like I was in a chemically-induced state of mind (which I've never actually done, but I'm sure the sensations are similar). Aside from overall creepiness from the male characters, I still appreciate the girly, cutesy message it sends that I oh-so-highly enjoyed in my childhood. But I may not watch it again until I have a dreamy-eyed daughter of my own

    an uneven nonetheless charming children's film

    I have very fond memories of this film, as I saw it with my two younger sisters when it first shown theatrically in 1977 and I was eight years old. Apparently it was deemed a failure - and is now practically forgotten (the pan-and scan videocassette - which never did justice to the picture or it's ambitious Panavision compositions is now out-of -print.) The film is very stylized (shades of YELLOW SUBMARINE) and admittedly uneven. Some of the characters and sequences are exquisite while others are somewhat juvenile and undistinguished. The sad discarded blue camel (shades of Eeyore) and his blue song are truly heartwarming. Joe Raposo's songs are for the most part simply beautiful. Definitely a worthwhile curiousity that will probably (sadly) fall into total obscurity.

    Fond memories

    The last time I saw the movie I was around seven years, so my opinions might be jaded over time. At the time I enjoyed the filming that switched between cartoon and live action. At the time I felt sad for the blue camel and his sad life. Also I felt glee when after Captain Contagious kidnapped the heroine (a princess or toy shepherdess) the tables the were turned on him. Unfortunately the producers never decided to transfer this movie to VHS, so all I have are twenty year old memories. I am sure that if I saw the movie again I would consider it corny and sappy, but I really enjoyed it the movie at the time.

    Just as weird as I remembered.

    I actually found a copy of this movie recently. I hadn't seen it in easily twenty years and its one of those movies that ALWAYS had stuck with me. Every time I mentioned it to someone, they would look at me a little strangely. Watching the film again brought back alot of memories and I was amazed at how much I had actually retained.

    The animation style is very interesting because each character is done by a different animator, each using their own style. At times this is a little jarring but overall it adds to the mood of the movie which is WEIRD. The film switches from happy musical numbers to the dolls getting trapped in a pit with a grotesque, horrifying candy monster (one of the images that was burned into my memory 26 years ago.) Definitely a great deal of imagination involved in this film. If you can find this, its definitely worth watching.

    • Trivia
      This film was last released on home video in its full screen VHS format in 1992. No DVD release is scheduled, not even in widescreen, due to legal issues. However, Garrett Gilchrist, who restored The Thief and the Cobbler (1993) as "The Recobbled Cut", restored this film in widescreen and has put it on video sharing websites.
    • Goofs
      During the "Rag Dolly" number, when all the dolls sing together, Raggedy Andy takes off his hat at one point. When he does so, another appears as if he never took it off.

      The Camel: [singing] When you can't find a friend / And the road doesn't seem to end / And you're lonesome the whole day through / How can you be happy? / How can you be smiling? / How can you be anything but lowdown saggy and blue? / When there's nothing to share / And you don't have a dime to spare / And there's no one to comfort you / How can you be smiling? / How can you be singing? How can you be anything but lowdown saggy and blue? / I look around and see the sweet life everywhere. / I watch the cookie bushes shining in the sun. / The smell of sweet vanilla living blows in every breath of air. / Doesn't anybody want me? / Doesn't anybody care? / When you're wrinkled and cold / And your fortune has all been told / And you're nobody's "I Love You" / How can you be happy? / How can you be smiling? / How can you be anything but lowdown saggy and blue? / Sad but true. / How can you be happy? / How can you be singing? / How can you be anything but lowdown saggy / And rag bag baggy / And blue.
