[Jar Jar Stinks]

Code Red has revealed that it is preparing a Blu-ray release of Hollingsworth Morse's comedy Pufnstuf (1970), starring Jack Wild, Billie Hayes, Martha Raye, Cass Elliot, Allison McKay, Sharon Baird, and Billy Barty. The release, which will be distributed by Kino Lorber, is expected to arrive on the market later this year.

Plot: This children's fantasy is based on Sid and Marty Krofft's popular 1960s kiddy show H.R. Pufnstuff, which combined giant puppets and live action players. In the story, a young lad (Jack Wild) with a magical flute travels to a magic island where inanimate objects and animals talk. There he encounters the amiable dragon Pufnstuf, the mayor of the island. When the wicked Witchiepoo steals the flute so she can be named "Witch of the Year" by her cronies, the boy, the dragon, and their pals must somehow get it back from her enchanted castle.
