    I didn’t get it as a kid, but it’s so clearly a metaphor for the decision to build freeways through marginalized communities that happened in real life. Thanks for posting this here, I hadn’t seen this movie in probably 15 years, and it holds up really well. Too bad there wasn’t a real life Eddie Valiant back then.

    This movies background is amazing. How they created all the effects was groundbreaking. I love watching the clips of the behind the scenes for scenes like the dish throwing where they created animatronics to handle the actual physical props, and then painted the cartoons over it.

    It’s also amazing to me that no one drew shadows on cartoon characters in films until this movie.
