Ultra City Smiths

For anyone who has ever watched claymation, stop motion, anime, or experimental animation created and written in a former soviet republic or developing south east asian nation in literally any other language than english, this review will make sense.

This is not a normal show, this is a concept piece, chopped up into several conveniently digestible episodes.

This is not a normal show, this is a superbly cast experiment in post-pop culture adorement of the best non-voice actors doing voice over that you might ever hear.

This is not a normal show, this is the love child Bakshi, Eisenstein, Jeunet, Truffaut, Matt Stone, Trey Parker and Nick Park all wrapped up into one, shot in Bosnia, then voiced over in Burbank.

This is not a normal show, which makes it pretty refreshing.

** Minus 2 stars for the OBNOXIOUS and overly interruptive title sequence.

Lose it and let the show be what it wants to be.
