    Would bore kids now, good for adults to get drunk to

    So this movie's pretty dated, it happens with technology based animation. Kids today would probably take one look at this and laugh, having seen the likes of the countless number of modern big budget computer animated movies, or even the low budget ones. But for it's time this must have seemed like a huge milestone and was clearly made for younger kids who probably don't have the highest standards for entertainment anyway. I would guess that the target age range for this movie was 3-8. It starts off by introducing us to Elroy, at home on his computer, when a strange computer chip character starts talking to him and shows him various 1 to 5 minute segments of animated fantasy. The colors are bright, the patterns are tacky, the music is weird and the animation nowhere near perfected, which makes this a great movie to watch with friends and have a cocktail (if you like oddities, that is) I mean it's a kid's movie, why else would you be watching an old kid's movie? Run time is 30 minutes.
