Little Johnny: The Movie

Having made Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson's Christmas album pretty much compulsory annual listening I was curious as to what would happen ought said inspiration result in a cartoon. Unfamiliar myself with the whole 'Little Johnny' series of jokes, I kind of went on into this one based solely on an idea of Wilson's humour. There I was not disappointed. If you want to see dunny gags and schoolchildren using the F-word inappropriately this is going to be quite (and repeatedly) rewarding and on this basis alone I wholeheartedly recommend it.

That said, it's a bit long. To meet feature length, they really pushed their 80 minutes, but a 45 minute 'special' on one of those FoxTel channels that doesn't mind the foul language might have been a better bet (and maybe better funded!). A series of amusing but non-topical jokes and some antics involving a rooster pad the time but detract (my partner fell asleep) from the core premise of the work: Johnny wants to win a go-cart race to get the girl.

That last bit does go entertainingly well besides the maddening insistence to apply Motion- rendered DOF to animation. I like my cartoons depth-of-field free.

There's a few tasteless but yet chronically appropriate ethnic jokes (and I think one gay one) and it makes families from the 1960's a bit less spank-happy when they were (I grew up in the late 1970's and had my hide tanned seemingly daily for crying out loud!) but generally, it was a fun if perhaps unnecessarily extended ride, and I give it 7 out of 10.

Before watching this Comedy Animation i was just expecting a weak movie but when i see it I found out that this is one of the greatest Comedy Animation titles that of course you can enjoy but it certainly isn't suitable for children because of it's content . This animation is full of the jokes that we all are interested in . Besides what this movie is trying to show is not just what it looks like . It has a whole different main idea that it wanna show the effort of a boy who is trying to win a race and be able to purchase his favorite Bicycle and help his uncle. Except the Simple Graphic work , This Movie is just Beautiful and Of course they have a long way to make this movies general.

There isn't much to say about "Little Johnny", but this ultra-funny cartoon spoof of Australian life really give you a good laugh. It is both entertaining and amazing to watch. The Little Johnny jokes are passed around in this movie so much that it just makes you laugh until you explode. It is one of the best Aussie Animations I have seen in a long time and it sure does deserve the support of the Australians to make this an ultimate classic.

When I went to watch this film, I was expecting corny and horrific language throughout. But I was pleasantly surprised when it used creative humor to make you feel good inside. This is the best comedy out there at the moment.

Fantastic movie, I give it a 5/5. - Michael Radny

They call themselves Australia's answer to american dad.

If the answer was a pile of piuke on a drawing page, then yess. They are the answer.

This type of unoriginal cr*p is just a sign of your talentless search to trecognition by just trying to do the same thing that has already been done.

Let's not begin about the toddlers who drew this absolute waste of time.

Who in his right mind watched this in the editing room and gave his go ahead to publish this.

Don't take this review as a reason not to watch this. I stongly implore you to watch it yourself and come to the same conclusions.

Please do not make a sequel!

Let's get some things straight, this movie ain't for those sensitive types of people. Hell no, "Little Johnny the Movie" aims to outrageously make people cringe at the sounds of those aimless jokes.

Vulgarity aside, this movie is pretty funny. Jokes about sex, love, family, and whole lot of other stuff make it worthwhile to watch. It's like an Australian version of South Park but doesn't seem too preachy. The movie doesn't take itself too seriously which makes it more fun. It has silly moments and even sillier characters.

Now the plot itself is simple enough. Johnny wants to win the Soapbox Derby to buy himself a bike to win over his love. But problems arose when his Uncle has no more money for the farm and Johnny's intentions on winning suddenly shift to saving his uncle's life.

The accents may ward off some viewers though. You can clearly hear the thick Australian accents from the voice actors which may confuse some. But aside from that, this movie is a recommended viewing over and over again.
