Don't get me wrong, I love this movie (I watched it so much as a kid that I memorized every scene), but I just caught the end on TV and my God, most of the the effects don't hold up anymore, as amazing as they were when it debuted. I can't believe it's been 20 years . . .

They went the route of making the effects cartoon-like, which was OK for Stanley.
They really delivered with that lovable, talented little dog, however. And he was strictly the real deal with his acting.

They're meant to be cartoonish.
Exactly and that's why they still work well. This ain't no sci-fi extravaganza.

Just my two cents, but the fx in this movie DO hold up and look stunning to this day. I remember being blown away by the effects in this movie and The Shadow back in the theaters. They both have their charms still, but The Mask's fx holds up so well because it was never trying to be realistic.

Just watched it again for the first time in ages and I agree the effects are still tremendous, even if it had been made today if it looked this good I can't see anyone complaining.

I think it does hold up, as does the whole film. It's not the greatest film bit it was a part of our childhoods, and Jim Carrey is great in the role.
I enjoyed the film.
