While watching this movie, I was in awe. I couldn't believe that fruit could be puppeted so masterfully. It was creative and funny. Dr. Sunkyst, a respected hero an professor, is hired to teach at a college. He learns to overcome being a "fruitist" and helps save the day from a terrorist attack by Osama Binanan, as well as a rampaging zombie attack. It's funny to see how much violence and death can be brought upon fruits and vegetables. The DVD has a making of on it, and it is truly amazing to see the work put in by mainly two guys. The special features also show some great deleted scenes.
I would suggest picking this movie up. I can easily see it picking up a cult following. I thought it was great.

From the beginning we were very excited to watch this film. There has been a lot of buzz surrounding the film in the various microcinema online forums.
The DVD also features deleted scenes, a behind the scenes documentary, chapter selection and out takes. Whoever new that fruit could be so fun.
The story opens with professor Charles Sunkyst (a retired action scientist) trying to become a professor at Orange university. Everything is going smoothly until strange things start happening on campus. Professor Sunkyst runs into numerous situations including confrontations with his students, racism (or fruitism), homosexuality and demons from his past. He ends up judging the university's science fair and runs in to his old enemy (Evil Eggplant). Soon all hell breaks loose and professor Sunkyst and his friends have to put all the pieces back together. This film is hilarious with few flaws. It is amazing how much attention was paid to the tiniest details. The characters fit the fruits perfectly. You will never look at a banana the same way again. The only thing we noticed were a couple of sound blips towards the beginning of the film but besides that Oranges is one of the most solid pieces of cinema to come off of the microcinema presses in a long time.
Oranges: Revenge of the Eggplant recently won BEST COMEDY (feature) at the 2004 Microcinema Fest. We look forward to seeing more from Red Letter Media in the years to come!
