A Town Called Panic (2009)
The Gist:
A Town Called Panic is a delightfully whimsical and imaginative creation. It also holds the distinction of being the most insanely bold use of claymation/stop motion I've seen on screen. The story is a haphazard mash up of one ridiculous situation after another and can be summed up by the following synopsis of its opening moments: Horse (played by a plastic horse) is having a birthday so Cowboy and Indian (played by a plastic Cowboy and Indian) decide build him a barbeque. They try to order 50 bricks to build it but accidentally order 5 million. And the hundreds of trucks come to deliver it and Cowboy and Indian hide the bricks on top of the house.... You know, I'm realizing now that I can't accurately sum up the film's craziness in a meaningful way. Just trust me, it's brilliant.
