A Town Called Panic

Streaming video - 2009

Hilarious and frequently surreal, the stop-motion extravaganza A TOWN CALLED PANIC has endless charms and raucous laughs for children from eight to eighty. PANIC stars three plastic toys named Cowboy, Indian and Horse who share a rambling house in a rural town that never fails to attract the weirdest events. Cowboy and Indian’s plan to gift Horse with a homemade barbeque backfires when they accidentally buy 50 million bricks. This sets off a perilously wacky chain of events as the trio travel to the center of the earth, trek across frozen tundra and discover a parallel underwater universe of pointy-headed (and dishonest!) creatures. Nominated for a Golden Camera at the **Cannes Film Festival.** Nominated for the Best Foreign Film Award at... the **César Awards.** *"There's really very little to say about this film beyond that it's absolutely brilliant." - Peter Brunette, **Hollywood Reporter***
