animate! synopsis
Grotesque Wild West goes vaudeville. Prairie tales in stark, dark ink to outrage and illuminate.
Six 3-minute episodes:
Slim Pickin’s – poor ole’ Josh finds he’s the victim of false promises.
That’s Nothin’ – a few of the boys get together in the saloon.
Murder! – an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. The silent majority get their way.
High Noon – Clint and Chuck face each other out in the final showdown.
The Conformist – “If you want to fit in around here, you best do what’s expected of yer.”
Outrage – The whole of Joseville is disgusted by the behaviour of their young folk.
long synopsis
A series of six, three-minute films which comment on contemporary values through a reinterpretation of the myths of the old Wild West. Mulloy’s witty and acerbic fables, drawn in brush and ink, contain scenes calculated to outrage horses.
