A Town Called Panic

in 2010 Films & Events

Hilarious and frequently surreal, the stop-motion extravaganza from Belgium has endless charms and raucous humor. Based on the Belgian animated cult TV series, PANIC stars three plastic toys named Cowboy, Indian, and Horse, who share a rambling house in a rural town with eccentric neighbors. Cowboy and Indian’s plan to give Horse a homemade barbeque backfires when they accidentally buy 50 million bricks on the Internet. This sets off a perilously wacky chain of events as the trio travel to the center of the earth, trek across frozen tundra, and discover a parallel underwater universe of pointy-headed creatures. For ages 8 and up (subtitles and some mild swearing). Sponsored by Three Penny Taproom. Community Partner: School of Cartoon Studies. 75 minutes, in French with subtitles. With short PHOTOGRAPH OF JESUS (6 minutes). Film website
