Join the exploits of a mismatched band of cartoon stereotypes on a wild ride through an animated world. Presented in the style of a Commedia dell’Arte scenario gone berserk, watch as a young, idealistic upstart named Trouble steals the giant hammer that Esther, the bratty dictator, uses to maintain a monotonous, but peaceful order. See Suitor chase Damsel, while two Anime girls fight for the attention of Rockstar, a big stuffed teddy bear with a dark edge. Enjoy the sad songs and pontifications of Winston Puppet, while bombs explode, chaos ensues and bodies pile up. A violent social commentary exploring the rapid coalescence of media, politics and consumer giants, Cartoon proves there is nothing like a punch in the face to really get the blood moving!
