Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Sundae in New York" is a 4-minute animated short film that won an Academy Award over 30 years ago and I must say I find it shocking. How did this very mediocre little movie manage to beat the wonderful 2Mickey Christmas Carol"? Anyway, the only thing of real quality in this one here is the famous song, but it existed of course already long before this film. The animation is nothing special, there is no story and I also cannot take this seriously as a tribute to the city of New York. Actually, they kinda butchered the great tune in here. Really baffled what the Academy was thinking that year and I cannot say I am too surprised that neither director Picker nor voice actor Record managed a particularly memorable career in the industry in the decades after this was made. Not recommended.

KlashedKi You know how some awards are won just because the other contestants served as no real challenge? Well, that's how this one made me feel. It is about a wacky looking character taking a tour around New York while "singing" to the song of the same name. This claymation has not aged terribly well considering its length of 4 minutes and not having much to offer besides some celebrity appearances and a cheap laugh that was more of a smirk instead at a point where you won't even remember.Watch it if you find it only to see how the academy has screwed up on the occasions they have otherwise avoid it. There really isn't much to offer in this round.

Robert Reynolds This short won the Academy Award for Animated Short and probably deserved to win. It shows an Ed Koch figure taking the viewer on a somewhat bizarre, often funny, tour of New York, peppered with familiar faces all done in clay and to the tune, "New York, New York". Glad to see it still available on World's Greatest Animation (excellent compilation-I recommend it highly). Most recommended.

Ron Oliver A diminutive Mayor Ed Koch finally gets his SUNDAE IN NEW YORK after spending the day extolling the joys of the Big Apple.Jimmy Picker's short (less than 5 minutes) claymated film is both fast moving & very enjoyable. Look sharp to catch all the amusing cameos. Vocal characterizations are by Scott Record, who sings `New York, New York.'Winner of the 1983 Oscar for Best Animated Short.
