3.0 out of 5 stars Master of the short form...get the picture?, September 28, 2003
By 
LGwriter "SharpWitGuy" (Astoria, N.Y. United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mutant Aliens (DVD)
Bill Plympton is a great animator whose brilliant imagination is seen at its best in the Plymptoons video/DVD, a collection of many of his short pieces through the years. But when he tries his hand at a feature length film--past efforts include The Tune and I Married a Strange Person--he's only intermittently successful. Plot is not his strong suit; bizarre transformations and visual satire are.

So here we have another feature length Plympton work. The Tune actually did work, thanks to the nimble songwriting talents of Plympton's musical partner Maureen McElheron. But Ms. McElheron is not in evidence for Mutant Aliens and so the writer-director has a bunch of wacko looking human goofballs who--right, you guessed it--change shape to become the aliens they really are. In the process of getting to this point, lots of strange sex and violence is proffered, none of which adds up to much in terms of telling any real story.

The three stars are for Plympton's astounding visual imagination and occasionally sharp sense of humor. But look elsewhere for an animated film that actually has real substance.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie! DVD lacking features.., March 30, 2009

This review is from: Mutant Aliens (DVD)
This is a great DVD. The movie is awesome and hilarious! My only issue is that there really just weren't enough bonus features on the DVD. I mean, to me, that is the whole point of getting something on DVD. I love to watch bonus features and commentaries; and sadly, this DVD is lacking in that department. If you are only interested in the movie itself, then I would definitely recommend this DVD!

3.0 out of 5 stars Flying body parts, perversity, loyalty & trust...it has got it all, September 20, 2006
This review is from: Mutant Aliens (DVD)
Watching this made me feel creepy but it was hilarious in parts, embarrassing in others. There's a young girl who thought she saw her father killed when it was launched in a rocket ship. She dedicates her life to the study of the skies. But then her father comes back -- years have past and he has the most outrageous story to tell. It's a film that can't be described -- you'll not be neutral about it but whether you'll like it, love it, or hate it will depend on just how high your tolerance for the weird is. I gave it a 3 because I haven't really figured out how I felt about it.
