From arthouse to Canuxploitation, Canadian International Pictures (CIP) is devoted to resurrecting vital, distinctive, and overlooked triumphs of Canadian cinema. This label is focused on the country’s original cinematic boom years – spanning the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s – occasionally venturing past that period (and the country’s borders) to highlight the films of Canada’s most inspired actors and filmmakers. Vinegar Syndrome’s sister company, OCN Distribution, is thrilled to be representing CIP's brand new line of home video releases!

An unclassifiable animated odyssey from the director of Heavy Metal.

A group of monkeys, including a director loosely inspired by Dennis Hopper’s Easy Rider persona, struggle through various trials and tribulations while making an epic adventure film in this psychedelic and satirical look at the Hollywood counterculture of the early ’70s. Directed by celebrated animator Gerald Potterton – who earned multiple Oscar nominations for his work at the National Film Board of Canada, contributed to Yellow Submarine, and later directed Heavy Metal – this is an outrageous and inspired feat of cinematic imagination.

An unlikely hybrid of analogue animation and live action Soviet fantasy film, Tiki Tiki repurposes extended passages from Rolan Bykov’s eye-popping 1967 phantasmagoria Aybolit-66 as the film within the film, employing irreverent comic dubbing and cutting to subvert the original intent. The result puzzled and thrilled ’70s audiences in equal measure and turned heads by winning Mosfilm art director Aleksandr Kuznetsov a Canadian Film Award. An unapologetically eccentric experience that has earned comparisons to H.C. Potter’s Hellzapoppin', Tiki Tiki remains one of the most sought-after animated enigmas of its era.

Incredible and odd film

"The participation of Jean Shepard was enough reason to pick this up for me. His distinctive voice is great for animation. (Incidentally there were several TV movies of continuing story of Ralphie and family that should get picked up for decent home release by somebody). The animation is gorgeous and the truly odd Russian movie that is cut into it makes for a truly indescribable film. Apparently they were torn on how to market this. Aim it at kids or stoned teenagers. I'd have gone with stoned teenagers. Good double feature with Yellow Submarine. Kid friendly except for a little near the end when King Kong arrives carrying a naked woman (animated but fully visible breasts). Recommended."
