...it seems fairly obvious that the film would have been more effective as a 22-minute cartoon...
Not good, but when I saw this on the big screen at age 8, I thought it was pure genius. It's still pretty amusing and the score is infectious.

More enjoyable than you might think. Basically, it's a movie-length 70's-era Hanna-Barbera cartoon, complete with Hoyt Curtin musical score. Approach it that way, and you'll enjoy it a lot more.
