You don't have to a be a Houstonian to enjoy Richard Linklater's '60's-set ode to Space City, but it sure helps.

Full disclosure: I have a very unique relationship with Linklater's '60s -themed animated adventure. Early in production, I helped Linklater's crew crowdsource material from Houston's space-age through an article for the Houston Chronicle. I was even able to visit the set in Austin at Troublemaker Studios — just before COVID-19 scattered everyone into the wind — and watch Linklater at work.
We visit the Astrodome, Astroworld across the street, the brown shores of Galveston Beach, the Texas Medical Center, and a certain orange-and-white burger joint even makes a brief cameo. There's so much here for Houston natives to gaze at that you will likely find yourself pausing and rewinding multiple times. It's like an MCU movie for Houston history obsessives, and Linklater has packed almost every frame with something to catch your eye.
In the middle is a buffet of vivid, mid-century animation, punctuated by lively performances from the kid cast. The only way for Linklater to adequately capture the space-age Houston he lived in was through the language of animation, echoing his own esoteric visual albums"A Scanner Darkly" and"Waking Life." The animation style of Amsterdam's World of Submarine visual production team repaints the Gulf Coast in vivid hues.
