New York Times, 09/04/1992, p.C3, "...Continually inventive and witty....The movie effuses a jaunty, surrealist magic..."
Chicago Sun-Times, 10/24/1992, p.19, "...A wacky, absurdist story with a warm soul....Plympton uses a sketchy style, giving his pictures a jumpy, jazzy look that perfectly fits his fluid world..."

As a frustrated songwriter struggles to pen the perfect musical number for an overbearing media mogul, he stumbles upon the magical fantasyland of Flooby-Nooby and becomes entranced by its eccentric, musically-inclined denizens--which include Elvis-impersonating canines and nasally-challenged cab drivers. Oscar-nominated animator Bill Plympton (YOUR FACE, MUTANT ALIENS) takes viewers on another surreal journey through his unique brand of contorted animation in this innovative feature-length film scored to Maureen McElheron's original blend of blues, country, and rock.
