Mad Monster Party

DVD was as expected excelent quality. Arrived within date expected here in Aussie Land . Thankyou for your prompt and safe delivery

This was the inspiration for many of Tim Burton's movies. This is an early claymation movie by Rankin Bass, whose most well-known work was the original Rudolph The Red nosed Reindeer. In Mad Monster party, the story evolves around the evil scientist, who wants to retire and leave his castle, laboratory, evil island, etc., to his nephew. The characters are all the classic movie monsters, and their voices are by famous old actors. Phyllis Diller, Boris Karloff are just to name a few. This is a classic for all ages.

This was a colossal waste of time...87 minutes I will never get back! Ridiculous to the point that the fact it was so astonishingly stupid made it quite funny to talk about afterwards and remember. I dont think my kids will trust my movie picks again!

Most of the youngins may not appreciate this movie to it's fullest, due to the dated material, and the slower pace of stop animation with clay characters. It could be worth the buy if you're looking for a good more wholesome Halloween type movie that the kids can watch, although don't expect them to sit through the whole 95 minutes without wanting to move on to something else. Even I, who grew up with this stuff, found myself a bit lacking in the attention area with this one.
However, as a novice Rankin/Bass movie collector, I definitely feel it was worth it to add this to my collection.

I was highly intrigued by this video & had to have it. I LOVED anything rankin/bass as a child -- how come no one has made a movie about these guys & their animagic shows?!? -- & wanted to share this with my kids who both love spooky stuff. they were bored stiff within the first 10 minutes. Definitely a smart purchase for those born in the 60s & early 70s but not for our kids.
