"A Town Called Panic" was a good movie.I wasn't expecting a lot out of this movie; I saw clips of it on a YouTube video, and decided to check it out. And that was a good idea! "Panic" was pretty crazy and wacky, and didn't take itself seriously, and because it didn't take itself seriously, it succeeded. There are many movies that are just stupid comedies, but a lot don't really compare to "Panic". It just embodies the "in-your-face" kind of comedy, and its pretty funny!With characters that are all over the place, and settings that come out of nowhere, "A Town Called Panic" was just refreshing to watch.

To me, A Town Called Panic was something like witnessing the off-kilter, nightmare world of a hyperactive child who was clearly overdosing on a massive sugar-rush. And in this hellish state the delirious child was plunged headlong into a claustrophobic nether-land of plastic-toy figurines. (Believe me, as an onlooker, this was not a pleasant vision to behold) Unlike Pixar's 'Toy Story', where toys were generally treated with a certain amount of regard and respect, this 'toy story' seemed to me to be hellbent on showing endless ways of damaging and, yes, destroying children's playthings.This truly bizarre and quirky stop-motion picture left me with too many unanswered questions, such as - Why did these plastic figurines need to sleep? Why did Indian want to build a barbecue for Horse? (I thought that all of these figurines (men & animals, alike) were on equal terms with each other and the act of eating one another was unthinkable) With 5 million bricks at their disposal, why did Cowboy make such a ridiculous fuss and go to so much trouble to get their walls back? Anyways - I certainly can't argue that some of the stop-motion animation was actually quite imaginative and amusing. But, before long, "Panic" inevitably lost its initial novelty and appeal. This was mainly due to the sheer nuttiness of a disjointed story which carried its situations too far to the extreme. (This picture could have also stood for a 20-minute haircut) I guess, when it comes right down to it, there just doesn't seem to be enough of a child's wonder and awe still left inside of me, so I was not able to find any real enjoyment in "Panic" as, it seems, so many others have.

Beautifully pure animation from Belgium. In a sea of CGI Dreamworks, Pixar, Blue Sky, and other such nonsense, here we have some stop-motion animated plastic toys. It also helps that this is some insanely genius comedy. It is exceptionally random, but not to the point where it's annoying. The story is a bizarre, sweet tale of friendship, as building a barbecue for a birthday present turns into a sort of family crime caper. Horse, Cowboy and Indian are a great trio. The best part of the film is seeing this strange world, where the animation and set design becomes the joke. Horse sleeps standing up, people wobble around, animals go to music school, and a giant robot penguin makes snowballs. It's a true delight, madcap comedy that doesn't outstay its welcome.

I usually don't do cartoons, but this is different. It was a nominee this year for a César for best foreign film. Besides, it's not a cartoon, but animation with those cowboy and Indian figures that you used to get in big bags, complete with the plastic bases.The film is done in stop motion and is frantic. It is actually a mystery. Someone is stealing the walls to Horse's house. Their journey takes them to the Earth's core. No, they don't melt. They go all the way through to the Arctic? It gets weird from there.After their Arctic adventures, they end up in the middle of the ocean. They find the house, and it gets more weird.Amazing story!!!!
