A surprising animated movie

When I heard about this movie, I have to admit it, I thought it sounded really daft but, surprisingly, the whole thing turned out to be really damned entertaining. Indeed, I thought it would be all right but it was actually much better than I thought it would be. Basically, it is actually a very original animated movie, really weird but in a good way, with some very funny parts. Since then, Chris Miller and Phil Lord have then become some major players in Hollywood thanks to the success of this movie, ’21 Jump Street’ and ‘The Lego Movie’ and while all these projects sounded really silly on paper, they didn’t chicken out, they completely went for it with some really impressive results. Here, they managed to make a fun and rather surrealist animated feature and, of course, the whole concept didn’t make any sense but who cares? Instead, you get some hilarious characters, some awesome jokes and one-liners and I actually enjoyed it even more after numerous re-watches. A couple of years later, of course, they came up with a sequel (without Miller and Lord on board) and even though they developed a nice new concept with these mutant food animals, this 2nd installment didn’t have much else to offer, I’m afraid. Anyway, I was a really fun animated feature and I think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
