When the brain of a talented animator is transplanted into the body of a twelve year-old boy who was done in by a theme park trolley, life becomes a cartoon in this outrageous adventure for the whole family. Milt Appleday was the man behind some of the most popular cartoons ever drawn. But Milt knew he wouldn't live forever, so before the cartoonist died he made arrangements to have his brain put on ice. Twelve year-old Jimmy Roberts was one of the deceased animator's biggest fans, and one day while visiting Milt Appleday's Gollyworld he is sadly flattened by a runaway trolley. The time has finally come to install Milt's brain in a new host body, and what better candidate than a young boy who doesn't need his own grey matter anymore? Now, as Jimmy wakes up to discover a rich world of animated characters that only he can see, everyday life suddenly becomes a bit more interesting. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

As the first-season finale of Big Love opens, Bill (Bill Paxton) and Joey (Shawn Doyle) are planning to take over Ernest Holloway's seat on the UEB Council. Joey will actually take the seat, because Bill can't be publicly connected to Juniper Creek. Barb (Jeanne Tripplehorn) is preparing for the Mother of the Year ceremony at the governor's mansion. Nicki (Chloë Sevigny) is annoyed by Barb's primping, and tries to persuade her to withdraw from the competition, for the good of the family. Margene (Ginnifer Goodwin) is far more supportive. Wendy's (Jodie Markell) snooping has uncovered evidence of Bill's polygamy, and she struggles with her conscience over what action to take. Alby (Matt Ross) drops by Joey's house uninvited for a visit. Joey's not there, and Alby warns Wanda (Melora Walters) that "brothers can get brothers into trouble," and he hovers threateningly over Wanda's newborn baby. Wanda turns out to be far more dangerous than Alby suspected, which creates further complications for Joey, Lois (Grace Zabriskie), and Bill. Rhonda's (Daveigh Chase) efforts to extend her stay in the outside world come to an end, and she blames Barb when she's taken back to the compound. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide
