Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

VinnieRattolle A sleazy campaign manager convinces a cartoonist to create a cartoon character, Peter President, who becomes the President of the United States. Before long, problems arise, and the cartoonist becomes disillusioned by the campaign manager's plans for the president.It's really a shame that this film isn't more well known... and judging from this page, one would assume it's a Bugs Bunny short (Bugs has a cameo). Although a few of the jokes seem a little dated, most of them still ring true today. The combination of live-action and animation are cheap but effective, the characters are lovable, the sly humor and easy to catch inside jokes are gold, and the theme for Bubonics is annoyingly catchy (I've found myself singing it on more than one occasion). All in all, it's a fun way to kill 23 minutes, and I can't recommend it enough. No clue if it's appeared on DVD yet, but was issued on a VHS compilation called "Cartoongate."

spot-3 A wonderful, whimsical variation on the themes of power and politics. Perhaps even more poignant now then it was during Nixon's regime. The apparent absurdity of two progressives running an animated character for President evolves into a witty exploration of the complicity of all who are involved with corrupting the best of intentions. The film's trajectory goes beyond the usual suspects, and indicts not only the media as hearing what they want/expect to, but all of us as well. Shot on a shoestring in the Boston suburbs (I was a fortunate volunteer student PA) the film transcended expectations and was critically praised. The Morrows were ahead of their time, and inspired following generations to create art of quality with the resources available. Well worth a look!
