towncalledpanicTown Called Panic, an exclusive movie for children that has been theatrically released on Dec16, 2009 has already been endorsed with Audience Award at the Fantastic Fest of 2009. The movie is also the primary stop-motion animated film that has been selected to Cannes.

A Town Called Panic actually follows hilarious, wacky and surreal adventures of the three characters that are actually plastic toys and they are named as Horse, Indian and Cowboy. These toys share a tedious house situated in a rural town. The town is infamous for weirdest events. The plastic toys are animated or voiced as if some laughing gas is filled inside them.

This remarkable French-Belgian-Luxembourgian co-production recalls of Art Clokey (Davey, Gumby and Goliath). The story is about two such toys — Indian (Bruce Ellison) and Cowboy (Stéphane Aubier) — who prepare to get a birthday gift for the third character playing as their friend named Horse (Vincent Patar). They accidentally end up destroying his house. A series of crazy and hallucinatory adventures takes place as the trio voyaging to the middle of the earth, peripatetic across icy tundra while discerning the eccentric aquatic world that is in use by oddball beings that have pointed heads.

The gift that Cowboy and Indian attempt to get for the Horse as a birthday present is bricks to build a barbecue. They plan to give horse a surprise by making a Barbecue in the yard. But a keyboard mishap that had taken place while placing the order for the bricks online leads to delivery of 50 million bricks instead of 50. How Indian and Cowboy dispose off those bricks and as a result fall-out of the plan constitute the rest of the story.

The movie is outstandingly funny, in an absurdist and random way. Characters who are apparently adults are made to display the temperament of children. The exceptional direction makes animals to act like humans actually mimicking some bad human habits. The cast and Crew of the movie has Stephane Aubier and Vincent Patar as directors, Vincent Tavier and Philippe Kauffmann as Producers and Fabien Pochet as Music director. The movie is setting its records and is being loved by both children and adults.
