To clarify - I didn't, like, wait until after Boboss found the answer and pounce. I were just fiddly-diddling with the posting protocol.

Ohhh, there's this Japanese animated thing where this girl was riding on a hoverbike and being chased by idiots on motorcycles across Road Runner country, and one guy kept trying to stop her with oil slicks and tyre spikes, ignoring the fact that she was riding a HOVER BIKE as in, NO WHEELS

that's gotta be Planet Busters, an amazingly fun movie despite being frustratingly confusing throughout and never resolving a thing, or so I remember.

sorry, overdue response to an old question.

Thanks, Mick. If I hadn't got it that would've been a great help.

I'm loving my new Love Film membership.

Yeah sorry boboss - was being talked at by someone in the office and a) failed to read and then b) misreplied to your posting...

Sweet Smell of Success is fantastic!

Not many clues on this one, as it's an animated film I saw when I was a kid about 25 years ago. I remember it was sci-fi, but in a kind of arty European way. Only a few details about the film - there was some kid as a hero, and a kind of muppet like creature that in my recollection looks like Rayman. I remember that thing clambering around a church organ saying something along the lines of "It's wrong! It's a marriage without love!". The film choked on without me ever making head or tail of it, but I do remember the final shot of a child being picked up off a beach at the end, and then a lingering shot of a sunset that seemed - at the age of four - to go on for ever. I don't think I enjoyed it, but I'd love to know what the hell it was, because it's been lodged in my brain for decades now.

Actually it may have been Japanese rather than European.

Tonight I finally watched Les MaƮtres du Temps for the first time since I was about three. Both of the animated films I saw as a nipper, remembered as half dreams, have now been watched in adult life (This and Laputa: Castle in the Sky). Neither disappointed in the slightest!



THANK YOU FRAELY!

THANK YOU THIS THREAD!
