I love this movie so much

A different way of telling a story

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

I had to pinch myself to see if I was dreaming when I read the other (positive) reviews.I am a huge fan of Kevin Bloody Wilson and I watched this movie because he was in it. The problem is that there is nothing new. The whole movie (or at least as much of it as I was able to drag myself through) is just a string of all the old Little Johnny jokes that we told each other in primary school, i.e. they are not really that funny as an adult.With all the swearing, it's definitely not for children so cut out the only audience that would laugh and now where's the comedy? If you have never heard any little Johnny jokes, then you will probably enjoy it, but if you are familiar with the character, then don't waste your time.

Before watching this Comedy Animation i was just expecting a weak movie but when i see it I found out that this is one of the greatest Comedy Animation titles that of course you can enjoy but it certainly isn't suitable for children because of it's content . This animation is full of the jokes that we all are interested in . Besides what this movie is trying to show is not just what it looks like . It has a whole different main idea that it wanna show the effort of a boy who is trying to win a race and be able to purchase his favorite Bicycle and help his uncle. Except the Simple Graphic work , This Movie is just Beautiful and Of course they have a long way to make this movies general.

Stumbling across this little gem I was surprised by it's originality and wonderful setting which feels like the cartoons of the 50's 60's without updating material for the the sake of being 'cool'. Those who remember the sixties will find much here that is pleasantly familiar, from characters, design, music, and socio political attitudes of the time (some of them not particularly politically correct). The gags come thick and fast and perhaps, you may have heard some of them before in one variation or another but there are others that you don't see coming and they're great! For any fan of the jokes you will not be disappointed and for those who don't, it may not be for you. The documentary style intro is a unique approach to this kind material and ingeniously sets up the lead characters and inserts them into the storyline set in a bizarre outback Australian town known as Gallangatta. The plot is simple, saccharine sweet and imbued with an innocence that offsets the otherwise bawdy humor. Little Johnny becomes convinced that if he wins a soapbox derby that he will be also able to to win the heart of Little Mary, the classroom beauty. Along the way, his Uncle, Kevin, offers him well intentioned but hilariously misguided and inappropriate advice. The Australian accents are thick and full of colloquialisms that may alienate some viewers but at the same time make this a genuine oddity that celebrates not only the jokes but an era when these types of jokes were only told behind closed doors and with impolite company! A very funny throwback from the good old wrong days!

Having made Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson's Christmas album pretty much compulsory annual listening I was curious as to what would happen ought said inspiration result in a cartoon. Unfamiliar myself with the whole 'Little Johnny' series of jokes, I kind of went on into this one based solely on an idea of Wilson's humour. There I was not disappointed. If you want to see dunny gags and schoolchildren using the F-word inappropriately this is going to be quite (and repeatedly) rewarding and on this basis alone I wholeheartedly recommend it.That said, it's a bit long. To meet feature length, they really pushed their 80 minutes, but a 45 minute 'special' on one of those FoxTel channels that doesn't mind the foul language might have been a better bet (and maybe better funded!). A series of amusing but non-topical jokes and some antics involving a rooster pad the time but detract (my partner fell asleep) from the core premise of the work: Johnny wants to win a go-cart race to get the girl.That last bit does go entertainingly well besides the maddening insistence to apply Motion- rendered DOF to animation. I like my cartoons depth-of-field free.There's a few tasteless but yet chronically appropriate ethnic jokes (and I think one gay one) and it makes families from the 1960's a bit less spank-happy when they were (I grew up in the late 1970's and had my hide tanned seemingly daily for crying out loud!) but generally, it was a fun if perhaps unnecessarily extended ride, and I give it 7 out of 10.
