I too am a big fan of the anims already mentioned. This one is a fresh, I mean, fresh, approach to the genre. Really is hard to breakout with something new in such a well worn field but this one does it. I stumbled onto it on telly and only vaguely remembered the director's name from somewhere. Right from the beginning...hooked totally. Only thing I had to fight off was that creeping feeling you can get when a begin is so damn tight that the little voice sneaks in for a second with "Oh gosh I just hope this continues!". Not to worry. This delivers. So crafty and revolutionary. The knife goes in deeply and the film will live with you. Those little critters are just so so so sweet. Haven't rooted for anything like that in quite awhile. Adult fare at its best. By the way, The Incredibles was not too bad for commercial work. Neat music among other things. Tough to anime hair, esp wet hair. But it too worked. Theater setting helps. Saw Lola and Stitch in theater and was so mush grander than on telly. Which is roundabout way to say that Muts does so well on the tube! Still can't believe how moving black lines and background can be!

Add a heaping mound of wild sex and graphic nudity, a touch of absolutely random segments that have nothing to do with the film (repent to JeSuS!!!!),two cups of cartoon gore and body horror, and a good helping of beastiality, and you've still got yourself a very bland and yawn worthy film that really doesn't go anywhere. Fitfully entertaining and only mildly amusing.

I saw this film over the weekend in the Philadelphia Festival of World Cinema and it is perhaps Bill Plympton's most extreme animated feature, out-sexing and out-violencing even "I Married a Strange Person." (And, for those worried about whether Plympton's gone soft on religion, he's also included a little ditty entitled "Can't Drag Race with Jesus.") That said, this film is hilarious and holds together fairly well as a story.
