This theme has been a long time coming. Sure, we've dabbled in racist, Mr. T and Chuck Norris cartoons during Dairy Queen/Culver's halftime
but it's never been the main attraction. It will work well with modern day BMN. There should usually be something interesting on the screen when people look up from their conversation or iPhone.
Fantastic Planet, or as its fans call it Fan Plan, is exactly what you'd think a French/Czechoslovakian collaboration from 1972 would look like. Although it's PG it opens with a shot of a topless woman and the aliens wear clothes that have holes to let their breasts out. There's a whole lot of boobs is what I'm saying. What's more, the whole thing is pretty freaky. I suspect it would scare young children. I'm surprised it hasn't been the subject of a Kindertrauma yet. So what I said in the invite about making BMN more kid friendly was actually a tangled web of lies.
Maybe because it's Canadian (doesn’t America make cartoons anymore?) and Ivan Reitman (who was born in Czechoslovakia!) is a producer there's a large SCTV contingent in Heavy Metal. John Candy, Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy, and Harold Ramis are all voices. You may remember the South Park episode Major Boobage that aped Heavy Metal's style.
Strangely, David Fincher is trying to get another Heavy Metal movie made.
Here's what happened last week:
