    GET YOUR SCREW-ON!! It's beautiful. Like Mignola in motion. Very humorous as well. Great choices for voice actors. Only 22 min long. Making of featurette is good but short.

    I watched this totally because I'm a Paul Giamatti fan - not a fan of the comic strip. What a hoot this was - I liked it more than I thought I would. Paul as Abe Lincoln's 'top spy' Screw on Head - a robot to save the world! David Hyde Pierce is hilarious as Emporor Zombie. It's a short (22 minutes) but fun ride.

    This was very interesting. My husband and I enjoyed it, but also found it strange and different. The voices with the animation brought this together. In some ways it seem longer than 22 minutes. If you are looking for something that is not mainstream animation, rent this.
