The Kid

I saw this movie like 20 years ago and couldn't remember the name. I thought it was really funny and crazy with my kind of humor...It's definitely worth a watch.

I don't mind animated or kids films I review them on their merits, but this just seemed so terribly underwhelming. After watching films and TV shows for kids both as a kid and later as an adult I've always felt mad when I see something dumbed down for kids. As if children are retarded versions of our adult selves, instead of the amazing knowledge sponges i've experienced.

This is another one of those films that panders to the lowest common denominator and leaves everyone wanting more. Personally I feel whenever I see a kids film it should make me feel a tinge of what that moment was like, whenever everything seemed to have a bit of magic and wonderment in it.

I loved the way this movie shows a child's slightly skewed vision of what adults say to them and how they see the world. This movie has a great story line and group of characters that show various perspectives. Definitely a must see comedy for all adults who had a strange childhood.

This reminded me of all those movies that talks about kids and sex. No, it's not child porn, but it doesn't get that much better.

Of course, this animated movie is cut up into different episodes about a kid learning about life. There's only one storyline that I actually liked. After the kid sees a naked woman, his brain goes boob-crazy and he starts seeing big breasts (and pubic hair, to boot) on everything and everyone!! The women aren't bad, but when he sees them on dogs, that's going a bit far!!

So-so animation with a storyline that isn't over puberty as of yet. If you want sex and comedy, I'd recommend Booty Call!!!

For those of you who've read "I Paint What I See" and truly gotten inside Gahan Wilson's view of the world, this animated bit of insanity will be the best thing since sliced, mold-ridden bread with worms crawling in it.

With a viewpoint both childlike and abysmally twisted, Wilson takes the viewer on a tour through a boy's life, from undead dissected alley cats to two-dimensional nude waitresses ... and beyond.
