Planet of the apes on wheels! One of the strangest and most entertaining bicycle safety videos ever made, One Got Fat is a bizarre concoction of 1960’s goofball children’s antics. The film poses many startling questions: for instance, why is it necessary for all the kids in this movie to wear monkey masks and tails while they go out on reckless bike rides? Bordering on surrealism, the masked youths meet various terrible fates as they get hit by trucks and fall down holes – though there’s no violence at all and the mood is humorous and cartoon-like throughout. One Got Fat is a must see film for anyone interested in the fascinatingly unusual cinema that was produced in the 1960s.
