ijvincent It's not the worst film I've ever seen. It's just incredibly annoying. The voice acting is grating (Do you get it? He shouts all the time!). The plot is non-existent. The animation is terrible, though that's obviously the intention. With research, I've found that I'm in the minority. Even Roger Ebert gave this 3.5/4, though I can't see why. A few gags got chuckles out of me, like the "cordless" phones and Horse (not) playing the piano, so I gave it one more star than I would otherwise.Maybe it's because I'm American, maybe I just don't get it, maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time, but it's just not for me.

Matthew Luke Brady Well we had claymation animation, computer animation, Lego animation and now little plastic action figures that have their turn for a movie, and I want more of it.The story to Panic Village is about are two main character's Cowboy (Stéphane Aubier) and Indian (Bruce Ellison) -- who plan to buy a birthday gift for their friend Horse (the voice of Vincent Patar) but accidentally destroy his house. A series of wacky, often hallucinatory adventures ensues that finds the trio journeying to the center of the earth, wandering across icy tundra and discovering a strange aquatic world inhabited by oddball beings with pointed heads.Cowboy and Indian are basically the two stooges doing funny but stupid things to push the plot along. Horse is a lot smarter and more grown up then those two funny idiots and it's funny how animal like a horse has to take care of two grown humans for their stupidity, but even horse has it's stupid but funny moments. Are main characters go through a strange adventure and meeting new people who are basically two things: Strange or barking mad, like this one scene where Cowboy, Horse and Indian come across there's mad scientist in there big metal penguin, and what they do all day is control the penguin to throw giant snowballs at people for a joke, and you can already guess what kind of movie this is. I enjoyed watching A Town Called Panic. It has great animation and three funny character's that I was totally on board with. I'm a bit shocked that not much people are talking about this movie, maybe they don't even know this exist and that is just unacceptable. The movie isn't for everyone, it's just like Adventure Time not everybody isn't going to find they kind of entertainment, but I have a soft spot for those kind of humor so it's all good... for me.Do I recommend Panic Town to people and yes I do, but before they do I should asked them to put all the logic to the side and just expect what's on the screen and maybe they might find it funny enough for entertainment.

tomgillespie2002 In a strange rural town, three plastic toys, Cowboy, Indian and Horse, share a house. Cowboy and Indian awake one morning to realise they have forgotten Horse's birthday. They decide to build him a barbecue, and order the bricks to build it on the internet. The delivery goes wrong, and they accidentally order about 5 million bricks, which they hide from Horse on top of their house. The weight of the bricks eventually sink the house into the ground, and they are forced to rebuild. But a gang of strange creatures who live underwater keep stealing the walls they build, so the trio embark on an adventure to take back their bricks, and get Horse to his piano lessons.Sound mad? Well it is. My description of the plot does not do the insanity and the randomness of this film justice. If there is one word to describe the film, it would be manic. When the credits rolled, I've never been so physically and mentally exhausted after watching a film since the mind-raping that was Tetsuo: The Iron Man (thank you for that, Marc). Made from the same people who did the fantastic Cravendale milk adverts, A Town Called Panic feels like the kind of the thing that goes through your mind when playing with your toys as a kid. It drifts from one random scene to the next.I think if I ever watched Toy Story while cained on acid, I think my mind would probably filter it through as this. It defies logic and avoids anything remotely resembling moral lessons, which makes the whole thing infinitely more fun. It's refreshing knowing that this is nothing more than childish playfulness mixed with some genuinely hilarious lines and set-pieces. How does putting a broken TV on his head allow Cowboy to breathe underwater? How do you move 5 million bricks on top of a roof in a few minutes? How does a horse type? Who gives a s**t? The creators are having far too much fun to allow meaningless things like logic to get in the way.This is truly a one in a million film, made from creative minds of such fierce individualism, with some truly beautiful animation. My favourite moment would have to be the character of Steven (voiced by Man Bites Dog's serial killer Benoit Poelvoorde) who is served a giant slice of bread covered in chocolate spread and a mug of coffee that's bigger than him. He storms into the room, ever shouting, to bounce along the table on his head munching the bread at hyper-speed, and walk straight through the coffee mug shouting "great coffee!" as he leaves. Absolute genius.www.the-wrath-of-blog.blogspot.com

lastliberal I usually don't do cartoons, but this is different. It was a nominee this year for a César for best foreign film. Besides, it's not a cartoon, but animation with those cowboy and Indian figures that you used to get in big bags, complete with the plastic bases.The film is done in stop motion and is frantic. It is actually a mystery. Someone is stealing the walls to Horse's house. Their journey takes them to the Earth's core. No, they don't melt. They go all the way through to the Arctic? It gets weird from there.After their Arctic adventures, they end up in the middle of the ocean. They find the house, and it gets more weird.Amazing story!!!!
