While I have long enjoyed Bill Plympton's short films, I have been left cold by his features. That is until Idiots and Angels came along.
The movie is completely free of dialogue and this combined with Bill Plympton's trademark surreal images gives the movie hypnotic quality. I have to say, after all the fuss that was made about the first 30 minutes of the mediocre Wall-E, you would think an animated movie that is without any dialogue at would be declared the greatest thing since sliced bread by the movie going public. Who knows? That may happen, but I doubt it.
I'm pretty sure this movie is only playing festivals right now, but, if you have a chance to check it out I highly recommend that you do so.
