Weird. This *wants* to be light-hearted, to combine silly and serious in a way that entertains and educates... but it just doesn't work, the tones colliding in a head-on collision of macabre. An interesting failure that plays out almost like a parody of educational filmstrips.
Wrong headed? Sure, but compared to its contemporaries this isn't all that condescending. Considering the elements this took talent to make this as bad as it isn't. Dare I say it's effective for the 60's?
This film will blow your mind all over the pavement. Some of the most fucked up imagery ever committed to celluloid, all under the guise of 'educational'.
I like how they apparently assumed this would be LESS disturbing for children if they had hollow-eyed proto-simians being run over by steamrollers instead
'Ten Little Indians' meets 'Planet of the Apes' meets Bicycle safety rules. This is sadistic, Macabre, unfunny, simply idiotic; and above all that, it was shown in schools. God... We are gazing the Citizen Kane of educational films.
