A spirited young man named "Pippifax" helps organize the party. The children attending the party look like child extras from a Star Trek episode. An evil wizard threatens havoc during the party, and is wonderfully performed with over-the-top acting.

    The centerpiece of the birthday party is a magical storytelling mobile, which frames some unique stop-motion animated tales, including "Puss and Boots". The dolls used in the vignettes are wonderfully and exotically crafted. Some of the stories went on too long; I wanted them to get back to the party.

    Overall, the movie is trippy and imaginative. Some of the elements are slightly creepy. I remember this being shown on television in the 70's. They ought to find a way to release this on DVD.
