Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

MartinHafer Stéphane Aubier and Vincent Patar are genius animators from Belgium. Their genius was obvious with the amazing and touching feature, "Ernest and Celestine"...and it was so good it was nominated for the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. "Frozen" won the statuette...and is proof that in this case the Oscar folks were looking at ticket sales and not originality or quality...."Ernest and Celestine" was THAT good. I have also seen a super-weird short from the pair, "La Bûche de Noël"...a very strange and funny stop-motion picture that made me laugh. Well, it turns out the same characters from "La Bûche de Noël" also appeared in an earlier full-length film...one worth seeing, "A Town Called Panic".Like the follow-up, "La Bûche de Noël", this one is stop-motion and features the same three characters...Indian, Cowboy and Horse. They all look like children's toys but unlike the plastic soldiers and cowboys of yesteryear, these ones bend and move about on their plastic bases. Cowboy and Indian are both complete idiots and Horse is the long-suffering friend whose life seems to revolve around getting them out of trouble...trouble they brought upon themselves! In this case, it all begins when Indian and Cowboy order 50 bricks online so they can build Horse a BBQ. But, because they are stupid, they end up ordering 50,000,000 bricks! What's next? Well, you wouldn't believe me if I told you!!The film made me laugh and seemed a bit like a movie made by some very precocious children. However, the pacing was a bit of a problem...and because of that I actually prefer the follow-up short. Still, well worth seeing...especially if you want to see something very original.

Matthew Luke Brady Well we had claymation animation, computer animation, Lego animation and now little plastic action figures that have their turn for a movie, and I want more of it.The story to Panic Village is about are two main character's Cowboy (Stéphane Aubier) and Indian (Bruce Ellison) -- who plan to buy a birthday gift for their friend Horse (the voice of Vincent Patar) but accidentally destroy his house. A series of wacky, often hallucinatory adventures ensues that finds the trio journeying to the center of the earth, wandering across icy tundra and discovering a strange aquatic world inhabited by oddball beings with pointed heads.Cowboy and Indian are basically the two stooges doing funny but stupid things to push the plot along. Horse is a lot smarter and more grown up then those two funny idiots and it's funny how animal like a horse has to take care of two grown humans for their stupidity, but even horse has it's stupid but funny moments. Are main characters go through a strange adventure and meeting new people who are basically two things: Strange or barking mad, like this one scene where Cowboy, Horse and Indian come across there's mad scientist in there big metal penguin, and what they do all day is control the penguin to throw giant snowballs at people for a joke, and you can already guess what kind of movie this is. I enjoyed watching A Town Called Panic. It has great animation and three funny character's that I was totally on board with. I'm a bit shocked that not much people are talking about this movie, maybe they don't even know this exist and that is just unacceptable. The movie isn't for everyone, it's just like Adventure Time not everybody isn't going to find they kind of entertainment, but I have a soft spot for those kind of humor so it's all good... for me.Do I recommend Panic Town to people and yes I do, but before they do I should asked them to put all the logic to the side and just expect what's on the screen and maybe they might find it funny enough for entertainment.

happipuppi13 I've seen some wildly funny animated movies before but I have no doubt that this one tops them all. A very noticeable new addition to my local library's shelf,I decided to give it a look last night. I can honestly say it takes a really funny film in the animated genre,to make me laugh over 90% of the time. A toy horse who owns his own home,has his own PC and automobile and lives with two very irresponsible roommates,a toy cowboy and an Indian. They turn "Horse's" world upside down when they decide to build Horse a brick barbecue for his birthday. They go online to order the 50 bricks they need and accidentally end up ordering 50,000,000! From this point,nothing but unbelievably hilarious insanity takes place. Not just with these three but their neighbors as well. I wont give away to much but that one mistake leads the rest of the residents into a world of chaos and confusion. The stop action is done very well here and the story reminds me of those writing projects they'd give us in school as kids. It seems like something one would make up as they go along,until they come up with a finale not expected. I didn't have any problem that it was in French and even without sub-titles,I'd have still found it funny. I recommend this for people ages 12 and up.There's some mildly bad language and scenes at a party of some of the guests getting drunk and a little violent,but it's PG violence at best. The rest is completely watchable. 10 out of 10 from me and let me say if you don't like sub-titles,don't panic.....just learn to speak French or just try to follow along. {END}

CorsetGrrl Like many who have reviewed this film I sat down with low expectations, and like others I did think at the start that the animation was lacking, but after a few minutes I really did get it. I found this to be a wonderful film, and as it has been said by others here I do agree that it is totally insane, funny, and charming.It is like the filmed imagination of a child playing with these plastic figurines and objects around the house, and the crazy and extreme adventures that they would see these toys having. There is a lot of screaming, actually it is pretty much all screaming, which again is like a 6 year old's Super Sugar Crisp fueled afternoon play romp.This is a Belgian film with subtitles, but if there were an English language version of this I am sure that it could be a kid's classic in the US too.
