Bill Plympton's fourth feature-length animated film about a group of aliens that return to earth with an astronaut who was lost in space for twenty years is campy, pornographic, and gross. The loveable, though violent, aliens wreak havoc on earth with boisterously entertaining, gross-out effect.

Marrit Ingman Austin Chronicle Rated: 2/5 Mar 10, 2003 Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times Zany, exuberantly irreverent animated space adventure. Rated: 4/5 Jun 14, 2002 Full Review John Anderson Newsday It's a work by an artist so in control of both his medium and his message that he can improvise like a jazzman. Rated: 3.5/4 Apr 19, 2002 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The look is highly unique, full of distortions so severe that they're absolutely hilarious.

Audience Member Une formidable realisation, un rythme soutenu, beaucoup d'imagination, du delire mais l'ecriture est un peu oubliee. Elle manque de profondeur. Le message sur la revanche des exploites sur le systeme capitaliste parait superficiel. "L'humour" cul/scato systematique derange tant il semble vieillot, tendance Fluide Glacial années 70-80. Personnellement, pas trop ma tasse de the. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member What a load of crap the story was... Plympton has a unique visual style and I like it, but Plymptoons had much smarter concepts. I was waiting for more imagination for the story...pity Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a shame that Bill Plympton is working in relative obscurity when you see wackiness like this. He's a real creative genius in a field that has had a few in its day. Bizarre and original. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Bill Plympton's Mutant Aliens may just be one of the oddest pieces of American animation I've ever had the pleasure to view. Plympton is a cult artist whose attracted a huge amount of attention due to his unique and bizarre cartoony style, as well as his racey themes and complete inability to view anything as taboo, or at least so it seems. As a result, his movies fucking rule. Mutant Aliens is the tale of an astronaut, sent to space and betrayed by his country in order to rally more funding for the space department. He returns to Earth some years later, telling a fantastic story about his experiences on a planet filled with human organs walking around, but it turns out that isn't the full truth. The plot is bizarre and completely ridiculous, but you can't fault Plympton for his writing skills. The movie progresses in a captivating fashion, giving us a great balance of suspense and investment in this completely bizarre tale. An homage to classic monster B-movies, Mutant Aliens is certainly full of gratuituous sexuality and over the top violence, accentuated by Plympton's choppy animation style, which reminds us constantly of his independent investment in his films. It really does feel like Plympton has drawn every frame of this feature himself, with no help at all. By the time we figure out what is going on, we're getting a little sick of everything though. The scenes start to drag out, and the inconsistancies of the frames start to wear on us when we're left with nothing but a bit of boring plot advancement to captivate us. But the craziness comes back, and at the end of the film, we are pretty satisfied that what we've just seen is probably pretty god damn fucked up. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Sebuah film animasi yang liar, keren, fantastis!!
