The dystopia conjured by Idiots and Angels, Mr. Plympton's sixth and best animated feature, suggests Toulouse-Lautrec by way of Charles Bukowski.

Now in his early sixties, Plympton has made his most accomplished feature...his characters resemble images in motion rather than full-on animations, as if a Looney Tunes cartoon made love to a Ralph Steadman sketch.

In some respects, Idiots and Angels shows legendary independent animator Bill Plympton at the top of his game.

...the punk rock of animated features: handmade, profane, challenging to the status quo, and occasionally ugly, yet groundbreaking.

A delightful yarn revolving around an age-old showdown between good and evil.

Truly one of his more deep and poignant films. If you are not laughing from that last sentence let me be clear: Bill Plympton quilts loving madness and sentimental debauchery into stories of love conquering all over a Salvador Dali fart joke. Madness is on the menu alone, but the spice to this madness for this film is morality questions. In that, I find comfort as I laugh at faces melting and boobs flying.

Phenomenal ideas, beautiful and wholly unique shots, and captivating execution.

Without a doubt, Idiots is Angels is one of Bill Plympton's best works. Is it his best?....hmmm..maybe not, it is very monochromatic, and while it is called a comedy, I really didn't find that many jokes. I'd prefer something more colorful than this movie, but for what it is, Idiots and Angels is a great film. The characters look great, it's surreal, and it's imaginative. I'd recommend it.

A good way to tell a story without using dialog.
