Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

You might want to keep your phone out for these.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of anyone who knows cartoons aren't just for kids. Works for the whole couch, from little ones up.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Lively and easy to follow, at 17 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • Made in 1972: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

Beckett cycles through a limited number of drawings, but adds new information to each drawing every time we see it, giving the sense of a world that is infinitely rich and also obviously contained tightly within the edges of the paper. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with iotaCenter and National Film Preservation Foundation in 2007.
