before all the kiddie vid weirdness of 'Yo Gabba Gabba' there was 'PufnStuf'. when i watch the 'PufnStuf' show now i'm really surprised at the similarities and how well the old show and movie keep up with recent kiddie TV trends.
obviously 'PufnStuf' was ahead of it's time. it's claims are dubious but legit. i also think 'PufnStuf' is less irritating and obnoxious than 'Yo Gabba Gabba'. it's also more spectacular and has better sets.
i still think this show is a little peculiar and a curiosity. i also think Jack Wild is still a little too much as is Puff's Jim Neighbors impersonated voice over. the problem with the 'PufnStuf' show is that it's too weird. it always has been. even watching it as a kid i thought it kind of strange. the result is because it's not the same well planned or thought out kiddie entertainment that Disney was.
i don't know what to say about this movie. it's mostly of interest because of Mama Cass playing a witch and for retro nostalgia. you probably have to be stoned and zonked to fully partake or appreciate, otherwise you have to be four years old, in that case, it's competently filmed and produced kiddie fare and competes well with anything offered on the kiddie networks. it's every bit as good or better than 'Yo Gabba Gabba'.
i enjoyed watching this again. but i think that says something about me more than the film. i know a lot of adults that couldn't sit through this or 'Yo Gabba Gabba'. i happen to watch both. i think i'm hopelessly zonked (or something else). i think the quality of things like this will remain forever notorious in the annals of what's what.
