    Madballs

    I have owned this movie for years. Before buying the movie I got all the Madballs' characters, I still own them to this day.

    But back to the movie. It is an interesting movie about talking balls trying to save the world. The part that is funny is that here you have balls, talking ones at that, but during the movie they play music. Where did the arms come from? If you know of these, there are 16 Madballs total. In the movie they don't show them all, but there are good ones and bad ones. It has a few laughs if you are into the 80s style cartoons.

    There is nothing I could compare it took, since this a one-of-a-kind.I would recommend watching it at least once, if you can find it.

    The balls are back in town

    Ahh this one's an old eightee's one hit wonder. I will try to explain it short and sweet, basically the story, animated focuses around a team of talking bouncing balls, OK wierded out yet, I was too, anyway they try to save their planet. Think South Park crossed with Monty python crossed with a crappy eightees cartoon, that's what this movie is about, I don't know if there was a series, I just remember the film, I wish I could see it again, but try walking up to a video clerk and asking exuse me do you have 'madballs.' It's too old, I can't find it anywhere, definitally a good, 'oh my god this is terrible' comedy. I remember having a Screaming Mimi figure, I have no Idea where they came from, but it's worth a look only to see how gross and over the top it is. Go on, go back in time and get it out on video, oh and another thing, it's totally maketed to kids, this isn't a grown up film.
