The Tune
“An Outrageous Animated Comedy Extravaganza”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 58, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A songwriter seeking a hit wanders into a world where every object seems ready to become something else. Bill Plympton's animated musical uses the thin quest as a doorway to rubbery transformations and escalating visual jokes. The pleasure is in the drawings' refusal to stay put.
