Like learning about the history of America from a psychotic!!
This is one of the truly rare films out there that dares to be 100% unique. I am sure that for some (the "fuddy-duddies"), they won't appreciate just how strange and different this short animated film is. Others (the "sick, twisted freaks") will laugh and thoroughly enjoy the bizarreness and take it all in stride. As for me, a man who teaches American history AND is sick and twisted, I loved the film and encourage you to see it if you are suitably strange.
The film begins with an introduction from a history professor. This is wonderful, as what he says is really silly and cute--particularly when he talks about how smart he is while he drinks cough syrup from a brandy snifter (you have to see it for yourself--trust me)! Then, what follows might be one of the most mind-bending versions of history I have ever heard--and in my pre-teacher years I both worked in a mental hospital and did psychotherapy, so this is saying a lot!! A strange and rather psychotic tale of the early history of America ensues that is basically an all-out war on land and in space between cowboys and astronauts!! It's all ultra-strange yet you can't stop watching because it's so beautiful to watch (the animation is great) AND it's like a long episode of Itchy & Scratchy!! In the end, thankfully, the whole thing actually gets even better, with a four minute condensed lecture on what happened next!! It's all very, very tongue-in-cheek and I truly had a wonderful time watching it. I can't wait to see more from the folks at MK12--they have really come up with something special! Gee,...wouldn't it be really, really sad if the folks from MK12 ACTUALLY believed all this and were serious?! Oh, and for another laugh, read the entire summary MK12 provided to IMDb.
