A 1979 Monkey Punch short that's basically a heist jazz fever dream compressed into opening credits. The animation moves like a crime caper should: quick, loose, stealing every beat for a laugh before it can get predictable. You're watching characters that feel borrowed from Lupin III crack jokes in a style that should feel dated but instead feels inevitable, like this is the only way this song was ever meant to be animated.
Crazy Monkey is a short original animated piece that screened alongside Jackie Chan's 1979 film The Fearless Hyena when that film reached Japanese theaters a year after its debut under the Crazy Monkey title. The animation plays over the insert song Monkey Man and is built on designs by Monkey Punch, with characters that resemble the cast of Lupin Sansei. Its genre listing is Ecchi.
