I've never been a real Herzog fan, and sometimes when I watch his movies (especially the ones about angels!) I'm saying to myself, "Does this explain what's really wrong with the Germans--is that why they make films like this?"
That said--you might like this film: poetic, non-Hollywood, original, quirky, unique. 'Visionary.' Actually it reminds me of Kaspar Hauser--another of Herzog's films. Again the "mysterious" non-chronological plot line, the historical setting, the spacey images and the unresolved story. --And even the problem of figuring out what on earth is actually happening on-screen as you watch it.
To me, this is a real 1970s film because of that--Bob Dylan's lyrics about "nothing is revealed" and "nothing was delivered" etc. come to mind and capture a lot of the ethos of that era. "Days of Heaven," "King of Marvin Gardens," "The Man who Fell to Earth" and a few other films come to mind.
--Evocative and mysterious, or just artsy-fartsy and fakey? Herzog gets a definite A for effort.
But, here in 2011, I'm not sure how many people will put it on the DVD or BluRay player and actually sit through the whole thing. It gets pretty gruelling or maybe just silly--depends on your point of view and 'level of enlightenment' I guess. These days count me in the front row with Joel and the wise-cracking robot roll-call!

The visual style of this cartoon is a COMPLETE rip-off of 1960s-1980s underground comic artist KIM DEITCH. Is he credited anywhere? Look at his artwork and his plots and you'll see what I mean. Many of the same characters as this show are in his work--or pretty similar ones.
Check out this YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfqCgf8867c You'll see what I mean.
Deitch is/was a contemporary of R. Crumb, Zap Comics and all the SanFrancisco-engendered underground comic book artists of that era, though his work seemed to have more an east-coast NYC lower-east-side of Manhattan subject or vibe a lot of the time. I could not find any allusion to Deitch on this "U-As" IMDb entry, and when I watched the show--on Comedy Central I think--the credits went by too fast to tell.
By the way Deitch was affiliated with animation artist Sally Cruikshank at one time.
