Highway Snobbery: Why being a road hog never pays off

Is this worth your time?

If you like old-school animation that doesn't care about your blood pressure, then yes. It is pure, unadulterated chaos on wheels. If you prefer your stories to have, you know, a logical flow or a moral compass, you’ll probably hate every second of this.

Krazy Kat acts like the kind of guy who would definitely cut you off in traffic and then honk at *you* for being in the way. Watching him zoom around in that super-speed auto is exhausting but weirdly fun.

The pacing is all over the place, which is honestly kind of charming. It doesn’t waste time with character development or setting the scene. It just puts a fast car in a cat's hands and lets the sparks fly.

There is this one moment where he zips past a row of parked cars, and the animators clearly didn't bother drawing the background for a few frames. It’s a total glitch, but it adds to the frantic energy. It feels like the whole film is about to rattle itself apart.

The payback part? It’s satisfying in that classic, cartoonish way where physics just stop existing for the sake of a punchline. It reminded me a bit of the chaotic energy in Frenzied Film, though with way more fender-benders.

I wouldn't call it a masterpiece. It’s just a loud, messy, short burst of rubber-burning nonsense. Sometimes that’s exactly what you need on a Tuesday.

Notes from the dashboard:

• The sound effects in this are mostly just honking. So much honking.
• The car design is basically a rolling egg with wheels.
• The background characters look genuinely terrified, which is a nice touch.
• The film doesn't really have an ending, it just stops once everyone has had their revenge.

Honestly, the reckless driving reminded me of the frantic pace in The Tip-Off. You just know something is going to break, and you're just waiting for the crash. It’s simple, it’s loud, and it’s done before you can even get bored. 🏎️💨
