No, not the Terry Gilliam film—the 1979 French Cartoon. I grew up watching and loving the English version and as I became an adult, I realized how horrid this fim is. I’m just going to put the highlights here:

The animation looks like the artist was suffering a grand mal seizure, but he said “Screw the hospital—I HAVE A DEADLINE!!”

The music in this film was composed by Michel Legrand (!!!), which I assume was like Andy Kaufman starring in a film about robots.

The animator of this film wanted to be the French Walt Disney. I’m not kidding. It adds a level of sadness when witnessing animation that could have set back the cartoon industry all the way to the day the first life managed to emerge from the water.

The audio of the English dub sounds like it was recorded in a toilet—not in a bathroom, but an actual toilet. Probably the worst thing that toilet has ever seen.

You’ll love the design of the characters and animation if you’re blind. And dead.

Michel Legrand. He composed the score for The Thomas Crown Affair. Why.

See a completely topless mermaid. This film was made for kids...but it was made for kids in France, so I guess not a huge deal.

A talking dog who makes the dog from Duck Hunt look like Gandhi.

THE MOST RACIST DEPICTION OF THE MIDDLE EAST SINCE THE LAST JEFF DUNHAM PUPPET SHOW.

Michel. Goddamn. Legrand.

Look on this film, ye mighty, and despair.
