Well this was excellent. I knew absolutely nothing about it, I haven't watched a Pixar film since Coco (which I loved). Their last few just didn't really look all that interesting. Seeing this streaming in 4K was quite fun too. I'm happy they put it up on Disney+. Voice cast is great, animation is beautiful as expected with some really clever design choices. I was puzzled to see Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross as the composers for a film about a Jazz musician but in the context of the film their work was perfect. I immediately ordered the score which was really cheap on Amazon. Highly recommended.
A friend of mine has been going on and on about this for about a week, saying it's the funniest thing he's seen in ages. I finally sat down to watch it yesterday. While I didn't find it nearly as entertaining as he did, I did think it was a very well done little flick. Basically a punk band is in need of a van for their first tour and they meet a guy who's willing to haul them around, they soon find out he's a bit of a monster. There are some fun moments sprinkled through out, if you've ever been in a band when you're young and tried to get gigs you can relate to these guys. There's one moment that really seemed out of place and it's a very obvious Troma reference, so obvious that they even had a Toxie clip on the TV 5 minutes prior to it occurring. It was unnecessary but what ever I'm sure lots of people find that humor funny? It's on Amazon Prime so if you are in the mood for a low budget horror comedy and have nothing else to do give it a shot.
