Colonel Heeza Liar on the Jump

Watch Trailer
1917 · 5 min Animation Comedy
5.0 / 10 · TMDB

Colonel Heeza Liar is a character a bit like Baron Munchausen. Many wild things occur to him in the cartoons and they are meant to be silly entertainment. Here, he gets into a fight with a kangaroo. On the verge of death, he's saved by a quack doctor--who gives him a transfusion of donkey blood! And, as a result, there is a funny lingering after-effect.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The cartoon constructs its humor on an absurd chain of events, relying on the classic archetype of the incredible storyteller. The animation of the era uses exaggerated expressions and gags to push the situation to a comical extreme.

What lingers after viewing is a sense of light, almost surreal fun from this eccentric short, where logic gives way to pure fantasy and visual punchlines. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: John Randolph Bray

Best Watched

Watch in a lighthearted mood as a curious piece of early animation, not meant for deep scrutiny.
