One Got Fat (1963)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

"One Got Fat" is a 15-minute live action short film from over 50 years ago that could be called an educational movie on how to ride your bike properly by some and complete garbage by others. This was made five years before the classic "Planet of the Apes", but this is a bit of "Planet of the Apes on Bikes". I guessed this was inspired by the feature film, which would at least give an explanation for the ridiculous masks, but nope it wasn't. I cannot take this little film seriously, I wonder if the writer was on drugs when he came up with it. The writer and director is Dale Jennings and unsurprisingly this is the only credit in his filmography. The narrator is probably the only somewhat known cast member as he (Edward Everett Horton) has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The only reason why this little movie does not have a terrible IMDb rating as some other educational films from that era is probably that it wasn't spoofed by MST3000, which shows how most people are not really capable of making their own opinion without watching the embarrassing MST3k guys. I myself did not enjoy this movie. It's probably a blast when you're on mushrooms, but only then. Not recommended.

ONE GOT FAT is a short film narrated by Edward Everett Horton - who portrayed Fred Astaire's sidekick in THE GAY Divorcée - and probably written by my favourite childhood author, Richard Scarry. It features a group of ten friends who go out one day to a park for a picnic. Each of the monkeys rides dangerously and gets knocked out of the picture one by one, breaking the law of the time (as a boy, I never had to register either of my bicycles). Only one of the ten friends makes it to the picnic site; the short is based on the childhood game "Ten Little Monkeys/Ten Little Indians." And he turns out not to be a monkey at all, but a normal human boy. Despite the low budget, the masks are astounding and the sound effects accurate. The bicycle safety tips are still accurate, except for one - the idea of licensing your bike. In none of the bicycle safety films I have seen as a child was this issue discussed, and it did not appear in either of the books I have read on the subject(perhaps because a bike was not considered to be a motor vehicle); this movie loses two points for being dated.

We'An early 60's documentary on bicycle road safety. This god forsaken nightmare has me reeling, There is no were to grasp, no safety nets. What is happening here? Trigby Phipps? Mossby Pomegranate? I can't help but feel an occasional undertone of apocalyptic human devastation manifest throughout the narrative, a hidden message about our doomed civilization. You may need some heavy duty counseling after sitting through this. ... a sensation. Dam! I need three more lines so that the IMDb accepts this review and I don't know what to write. Maybe if I just rattle on for just a few more words than that should just about be all the lines I need then I can have a hot chocolate and go to bed. There, all done :)

Someone set out to make a cute, humorous little film to teach the kiddies about bike safety. What came out the other end was a bizarre and disturbing surrealist vision of a world gone mad. Kids in cheap ape masks getting run down by cars and steamrollers accompanied by cartoon explosions and "boing" effects, all narrated with relentless chipperness by the great Edward Everett Horton. It's just weird.
