Anima...zing

Rating: 10/10 (19 April 2011)

It's often a worry for fans when a T.V. series, animated or not, decides to make a feature length film. The types of stories you can tell vary between 22 minutes and 81. But if anyone has ever succeeded at this then it's Trey Parker and Matt Stone. The film is definitely better if you properly know the first couple of seasons of South Park as the amount of references is staggering. Having said that the first time i saw this was when i was about 10. It may have been the TV premiere over here in the UK. But i was laughing so hard by the end, which is impressive considering how many of the dirty jokes I wouldn't have gotten. Since then I must have watched this movie over 50 times and laughed every time. The story is incredibly well told and the characters are 'super sweet'. What is also nice about this film is that not only is there no particular 'bad guy', just a series of connected events and you can clearly see each character's motives whilst the film remains hilarious throughout. It has even stood the test of time and after 12 years it is still just as funny every time i watch it. And it's also worth pointing out what a great job the entire cast, though particularly Matt and Trey, do with regard the voice acting. Just go and watch it! Unless you're offended by the entire planet you live on. In fact, even then.
