This surreal adventure in stop-motion animation and oddball comedy is the feature film spin-off of the Belgian TV series, which enjoys an international cult following, (and has been aired in dubbed version on Nicktoons). Three Plasticine characters, Cowboy, Indian and the sensible but temperamental Horse, navigate a series of manic adventures, from Cowboy and Indian's Internet birthday barbeque that wrecks their house, to the trio's travels to the center of the earth, the arctic tundra, and an underwater realm populated by perfidious pointyheads. Co-directors Stéphane Aubier and Vincent Patar supply most of the manic voice talent, with guest spots given to Jeanne Balibar (VA SAVOIR) and Benoît Poelvoorde (MAN BITES DOG). Fans of Art Clokey's Gumby, MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS, SOUTH PARK and ROBOT CHICKEN will find much to like.
