Film

Based on the Belgian animated cult TV series of the same name, this surreal and wacky animation follows three plastic toys, Cowboy, Indian and Horse, who all share a house in a rural town where nothing is ever quite normal. On the occasion of Horse’s birthday, Cowboy and Indian’s plan to gift him with a barbeque backfires spectacularly when they accidentally buy 50 million bricks. This sets off a perilous and hilarious chain of events as the trio travel to the centre of the earth, trek across frozen tundra and discover a parallel underwater universe.

Directors: Stéphane Aubier & Vincent Patar, 2009

French/English subtitles
