A Town Called Panic by Rose Spittles

Essentially, this is what happens when you make an incompetent, plasic cowboy, Indian and horse make their own barbeque in a world where jumping down a hole can take you on a hilarious journey to the centre of the earth and beyond. This animation incorporates laugh-out-loud slapstick with complete and utter randomness that would only occur if you combined Wallace and Grommit and postman pat at a party on speed. And these guys certainly know how to party! I've never been to a plastascine horse's birthday bash, but I'm desperate to go to one now. The naive animation (the characters look like cheap plastic figurines) just adds to the charm, and the sound track was a winner too. Despite the comedy of the film, there are definite moments of peril, such as when the team get sucked inside a giant penguin and have to find their way home! This is a journey of epic proportions, as far as plastascine models go. And amidst all this chaos, poor Horse is trying to juggle his piano lessons! Barking mad, but definitely worth seeing.
