![]() ![]() ![]() As mentioned, the rulebook is out of the window as it presents history in its own balls-to-the-wall way, so unapologetically absurd it’s hard not to admire the sheer amount of imaginative weirdness. The story itself, while fucking weird, is just baffling to watch unfold. Directorial debut nature aside, Matt Thompson displayed an impressive clear vision on making this motion picture visually entertaining and fast-paced like the Archer series he is involved with. From there you can see the effort that went into rigging these characters, and how they operated to deliver dialogue or execute an over-the-top action. It’s impressive that the frame rate is set to be lower than 24 frames to emulate the motion comic feel. You know this shit took years to produce by the details seen in the expressive movements of the ensemble and the striking designs portraying colonial America. America: The Motion Picture boasts sharp-edged 2D designs similar to your typical mainstream graphic novel, so cinematic and beautifully animated. It’s hella rare we get something of this nature in both tone and style. In a crowded market of mostly CGI-driven Western animation, it’s always welcoming to see a new 2D animated feature, especially one aimed for adults. Straight off the bat, America: The Motion Picture defiles the history textbook and provides its own fucked-up retelling of the founding of this fucked-up nation. Eat your hearts out, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and whoever made Liberty Kids (Gen Z readers will get that name-drop) because the people behind Archer and Lord/Miller have made their own historical fan-fiction more outrageous than all of you combined. ![]()
