Stop-motion animation from Estonia, crude, rude & lewd in execution and content, loaded (or rather unloaded) with scatological barnyard humor, a specialty for writer/directors Oskar Lehemaa & Mikk Mägioff. (The DVD comes with a few early two-minute ‘Old Man’ shorts even darker in tone.) An elaborate prologue provides ‘historical’ context as a champion Milking Farmer loses his cow (and his complexion) when an untended udder explodes into a Nuclear Milk Bomb. The gross fallout lactose rich & sticky. Two generations later, his great-grandchildren are dropped off for a summer working the farm with grandpa. Mucking out the barn chore Number One (the muck mostly Number Two), but once the three kids get the hang of teat patrol, the latest Milky-the-Cow takes off for the woods. Catch her or another Lact-apocalypse is bound to happen. Or will if the cow isn’t first beheaded by that gang of unemployed car-shop repairmen. Only Ms. Cow is hiding in plain sight at a rock & roll music festival in the forest and can’t be reached without pleasuring a giant tree tunnel to orgasm. Yikes! (Or is it, Wha?) Then there’s that giant bear swallowing everyone up. No prob. Just sing loudly and ride the wind as he farts you out . . . anally speaking. Aghast & entertained all at once, it’s the film that put the little piggy’s ‘here sui’ in sui generis. (Family Friendly? Maybe for kids who eat their boogers.)
DOUBLE-BILL/LINK: For something in the same pig sty but less Punk Rock, there’s SHAUN THE SHEEP. https://maksquibs.blogspot.com/2016/11/shaun-sheep-movie-2015.html OR the delightful sequel: https://maksquibs.blogspot.com/2021/03/a-shaun-sheep-movie-farmageddon-2019.html
