Willy McBean & His Magic Machine

1965 · 94 min

A charmingly creaky stop-motion romp through history, full of silly voices and slapdash adventure that feels like a vintage Saturday matinee.

Overview: Little Willy McBean joins up with a Mexican monkey named Pablo to travel back in time and stop the evil Prof. von Rotten from changing history.
