  • This unusual feature (a French-Belgian-Luxembourgian co-production) stylistically recalls the work of Art Clokey (GUMBY, DAVEY AND GOLIATH), with its lead cast consisting entirely of stop motion-animated children's toys. The premise concerns two such toys--Cowboy (Stephane 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 an icy tundra, and discovering a strange aquatic world inhabited by oddball beings with pointed heads. Benoit Poelvoorde (MAN BITES DOG) provides one of the voices.
