The latest film from Bill Plympton feels more like an animated comic book then a movie. It's the story of a cowboy who ends up in a logging town just as a movie studio sends a crew out to shoot their latest film.
It's a musical.
This is a film you are going to have to see several times because it's full of sly remarks, throw away images and general insanity that you multiple viewings are needed to see it all. I generally laughed and had a good time.
What bothered me about the film is that rather static. Such is the nature of computer assisted animation. What I mean by this is that is that the images are minimally animated and the backgrounds are flat and motionless. While I've seen this sort of thing in other films, I've never seen it in a Plympton film. It is because of this I made the comic remark at the top.
Animation aside this film is a wickedly funny blast and worth a look.
