The Plight of Clownana

After my recently developed Jensen Ackles obsession I reviewed his IMDb profile and discovered this little treat.

With its wonderfully convenient showing on the official website I didn't have to wait.

This little ditty is exceedingly funny. It very independent film style but I think the uniqueness of it story line would appeal to everyone.

Its definitely worth a look and as its not that long you should be able to get a quick laugh out of it. It certainly brightened up my very boring morning at work.

In my opinion it would make a great skit scene at the begin of a movie (kind of like the ones on kid's movies) but would have to be at least PG-13.

This is a brilliant work of art and very well put together.. A short but extremely funny film about a dancing Banana and his rival Dildoman.There isn't a dull moment from beginning to end. The music is great,and the characters are hilarious. Together with their incredible choreography and their insanely funny rivalry this movie will have every body on the floor cracking up especially with the little surprises through out the whole film.I recommend everybody with a sense of humor to watch the incredible "Clownana"! I only wish it was longer and most of you will agree once you watch it. Chris Dowling is a genius!!!!!

this short is as HILARIOUS and i've shown it to everyone i know and they've shown it to everyone they know and so on and so on. if you don't laugh while watching this at least 12 times then you must be dead inside. the narration, characters, costumes, script, etc. is spot on. the entire film is completely original, but there is one scene in particular that i guarantee you have never and will never see in any other movie. check this movie out!! i didn't personally recognize any of the cast members but apparently, based on some of the other comments i read, there are some well knowns in the plight of clownana, at least in cameo roles. i've tried to explain the plot to people who haven't seen it before, and maybe it's just my explanation, but it doesn't always translate well, so just do yourself a favor and watch the plight of clownana.

Clownana is, quite simply, one of the funniest short films that I have ever seen! It is very cleverly written and directed by Chris Dowling, who I expect to see much more from in the future. I was fortunate to see this film at the Deep Ellum Film Festival in Dallas and the Century City Film Festival in Los Angeles. In both cases, the audience howled with laughter over the plight of the half-clown, half-banana ice cream store mascot as he battles for sidewalk supremacy over his new nemesis. Told in voice-over narrative by the title character, you understand the ups and downs of this red-nosed yellow mascot. The climax of the film comes during the final dance-off, as the street is only big enough for one store mascot. The audience response went through the roof when Clownana's nemesis introduced his two 'associates' to the proceedings in order to attempt to destroy Clownana completely. The dance sequences were amazing and the soundtrack was a perfect match for the story. An awesome effort for a new writer/director. If you can't catch it on the big screen, you can enjoy it at clownana.com. I highly recommend it.

If you are from the planet Earth, and you do not see this movie, then you should be from some other planet, like Pluto...far far away from cool people. However if you are from the planet Earth, and you HAVE seen this movie...then shame on you for wasting time reading this when you could be telling others about the joy of the Clownana. Honestly, the film is just a joy to watch. I actually viewed it at the Arclight in Holllywood, California, and was very surprised with everything about it, from the directing, to the acting, to the voice over narration, to the very idea and storyline of the film. I do not want to give away some of the films bigger surprises, but if at all possible, I absolutely recommend seeing this film...which should be possible. Just google the title and go to the website. At the end of the day, a great film for a great time!
