The Tale of the Funny Clown (1980)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

A cartoon about a funny clown who drove away an evil old woman named Boredom from the city by putting on a funny show for children. In one town lived Boredom, an evil old woman who did not allow children to play and have fun. But one day a funny, amusing clown came to visit the kids. At the funny circus show put on by the clown for the children, joy and laughter reigned. And Boredom had to run away from the city.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
