Personal Thoughts: Volere Volare is a Roger Rabbit story about a sound effect technician in love with cartoons. When he falls in love with an unconventional prostitute, he finds himself turning into a cartoon himself! This movie unexpectedly used Italian dialogue with English subs. It's actually really funny. Most of the humor is innocent oldschool cartoon slapstick and sound humor. The other jokes are mostly sexual in nature. (The prostitute does weird things and is sometimes nude, but never has sex. Instead, she pretends to be scared while her cab-driving john drives like a maniac. In another scene, she acts as a nun during a fake funeral staged by a necrophiliac old couple.) Not everyone it will enjoy that, but I did.
The animation was surprisingly good for a random Italian adult comedy movie from 1994. The bulk of the animation only lasts for the final 15 minutes, much less than Roger Rabbit or Cool World. I do give it props for having that much, though, especially since I recently watch Evil Toons. That movie only had about 90 seconds of animation. Overall, the animation, combined with the excellent sound effects, did it's job and makes this a very unique movie.
If you're a fan of cartoons and adult humor, check this one out. It's only like $6 on Amazon for a used copy.
