Quotes:

[first lines]
Soda Dog Refreshment Squad: It's a groovy time for a movie time / So grab your gal, and grab a seat / But don't forget to get something to eat / Delicious meat, a nutritious meat / You can't beat my meat for a special treat / Sucking on me is really neat / Don't be a jerk and don't be a fool / Be a good neighbor and follow these rules / What are these rules? / Remember to keep your shoes on at all times / Don't pull your penis out unless you really need to / Indecent exposure is a Class 2 felony...

Surrealistic Masterpiece of Epic Proportions

From the days of Bunuel and Dali to the years of Fellinni and Lynch to be followed by the genius that is The Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

"If you do not understand, you should not be here," we're warned.

For those who attempt to make sense out of the abstract mess that is life, avoid. For those who can appreciate the nonsensical absurdity that it holds, view and love. It's just so goddamn beautiful and anybody who criticizes the 'pointless' nature of this film, try finding anything of an otherwise nature.

Please.

A vital attack on censorship, the senses, and sense itself. With animation so beautiful in it's simplicity, voices that could not fit better (specifically the Master Shake), and the freshest thing since Darwinism.

A cinematic meditation.
