Just a regular day for Horse, Coybow, and Indian

A Town Called Panic
2009 | Belgium | Dir. Stéphane Aubier & Vincent Patar

I am not sure if the overly high trio that sat a couple of rows over heightened the movie going experience, but it certainly added to the wild, unpredictableness of the evening spent watching this absurdist animated film. Based on a cult Belgian television show featuring the exploits of Cowboy, Indian, and Horse, the feature-length version of the film is a strange, wild ride.  While a little too long, the bizarre ramifications of Cowboy and Indian’s purchase of 50,000,000 bricks does make for an entertaining film and one that I am really happy I saw. Favorite moment in the movie: the team of amazingly strong scientists with the penguin-shaped snowball-throwing machine.
