A Town Called Panic (France, Animated 2009)
Directors: Stephane Aubier, Vincent Patar
Very odd and entertaining animation from France. Crudely, but artfully, done using toy figures. A loony plot about a cowboy and Indian who live with a horse and want to build him a barbecue for his birthday. They order 50 million bricks by mistake, and the result is a catastrophe for the village. Cowboy and Indian then try to fix things up and embark on a journey that takes them under the sea to try to retrieve horse’s walls which have been stolen by...
Any further attempt to summarize the plot would be futile.
Funny and strange, but in the best way. You have to buy the animation style or you may not like it, but the thing is so silly I couldn’t help liking it. I laughed a lot.
B+
