Member Rating:  
This animated musical comedy features the creative artistry of Bill Plympton and the excellent songs of Maureen McElheron. The story centers on Del, an aspiring songwriter working for Mr. Mega at Mega Music. One day, his boss storms in and gives him 47 minutes to come up with a major hit. If he doesn't, he is unemployed. He will also lose his love, the boss's secretary. In desperate need of an idea and wanting to write something meaningful, Del drives to the peaceful burg of Flooby Nooby and after many fantastical experiences finally finds true inspiration. This film really is unique with its ink and watercolor drawings, almost single-handedly done by Plympton, and has received wide-spread critical acclaim. It is definitely a must for lovers of fine animation. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

"Seek not the being of oneness, but rather the oneness of being". If you can comprehend such a statement, then watching this cartoon movie will give you such a chuckle that you'll have "In Flooby Nooby" as an earworm for weeks. This is such a humorous, funny, eccentric, witty, bombastically ridiculous piece of genius that once you've seen it, you'll have to tell someone about it. Yes, it's a musical, but each song is so entertaining and different in flavor that they create a smorgasbord of fantasy. I love this movie. It's an animated comedy classic.

Though Plympton is better with short works this is an amusing feature. If not for some moments of obsene language this would be a very family friendly work. In it's way it's a very sweet. Still Plympton's walking the line between adult & family fare doesn't satisfy .
