A Town Called Panic

I had no idea what I was walking into. Animation from Belgium? Sure, they make good fries and waffles but animation and comedy? Holy cow ... or maybe that should be cows, plural. This shit is funny. Basically there are little subplots strung together to make this movie length. First up, Cowboy and Indian order too many bricks to build a BBQ for Horse. Second is the destruction of their house, building new walls, and the mystery of who took the walls. There is underwater adventure. Fall through the earth's core with the cast. There are crazy scientists throwing giant snowballs via a mechanical metal penguin.

Yes, it is insane. But it is also damn funny. I noticed a giant waffle in the vending machine at the music school. Out is pops along with a teacher's comment to the student to "tend to their waffle." Huh? I don't really care 'cause it just made me laugh, and laugh. My only complaint is that, like with any super salty or sweet treat, I needed a break. I think I would have liked to see this as a TV series, giving me a good break between vignettes. This would also allow me to gather more friends to laugh along with me during next week's episode. Tune in next week to see if Horse, Cowboy, and Indian get into more trouble. I'm sure it'll be panic at the disco.
