So I watched A Town Called Panic (2009)


A Town Called Panic is simply brilliant! It is very simple, and the film consists of Indian, Cowboy, and Horse's misadventures, but the screenplay is clever and very funny. The biggest worry one has when watching a film like this is that maybe after a while the animation style or loose story- telling technique may get one overwhelmed, I know that was my biggest worry. But There was no need! This film was entertaining from the first second to the last, and it is a very energetic film that never once stops. It the equivalent of a child bouncing up and down because he is on a sugar high. If you expect a theme or very story oriented animated film, look elsewhere. This film is all about the one-liners and the wacky situations, but it was still really amazing for a film like this to be this entertaining. Brilliantly well done, and I think it is better than two other similar animated films, Coraline and Fantastic Mr. Fox.
9/10

Almost a stream-of-consciousness film. If that consciousness is that of an adult 5 year old. All the same, really enjoyed the non-stop pace.

I saw it at Green Man Festival cinema tent.

I was extremely confused when I heard they were making a feature, I love the TV episodes but they worked great as short frantic bursts of mayhem, I couldn't imagine it working for over an hour.

But I was wrong, it was funny as hell throughout, and I was always engaged. Amazing.
