Hitpig!

Hit Pig has an intriguing concept-combining a bounty-hunting pig with a runaway celebrity animal-but the execution leaves much to be desired. The animation is decent, with a colorful and energetic world, and the voice acting is solid. However, the film struggles with its tone, bouncing between slapstick comedy, action, and emotional depth without fully committing to any.

The dynamic between the main characters has its moments, offering some laughs and heartfelt interactions, but the humor can feel forced, and the story follows a predictable formula. While there are a few fun action sequences, they aren't enough to elevate the film beyond a standard animated adventure.

Overall, Hit Pig is watchable but forgettable. It has charm, but the pacing, humor, and storytelling don't quite hit the mark. Younger audiences may enjoy it, but for everyone else, it's just an okay ride.

While there are fart jokes, the fart jokes are woven into the plot. Which maybe sounds bad lol. It does have a better than average sense of humor though. Probably because the jokes often relate to characters rather than just put in randomly.

I enjoyed the chaotic, almost fever dream quality of the story. It helps the movie strike a good balance between lighthearted cartoon and heavier concepts like animals being mistreated. A lot of modern films are too serious, this isn't. Yet there is enough meat on the bones to care about the characters.

The biggest flaw of the movie is a very generic villain. At least his goal is fairly unique. He's also not the main focus. The heroes are much better.

A new animated movie has snuck into theaters called HITPIG!. Based on a children's book called Pete and Pickles by Berkeley Breathed, This is a story about Hitpig (Jason Sudeikis), a pig bounty hunter who returns escaped animals to their owners. Right off the bat, the title doesn't make sense, the pig doesn't kill anybody like a hitman. It probably should be called something like PETE THE BOUNTY HUNTER or just PETE AND PICKLES. He's literally named Hitpig. Moving on, he meets Pickles (Lilly Singh) the elephant who escaped from deviously arrogant Leapin' Lord of the Leotard (Rainn Wilson). They form a bond that makes Hitpig question his career and life. This movie is fine. I understand it wasn't made with me in mind. The humour is all over the place, sometimes aimed lower for kids, sometimes aimed a smidge higher. Lotta butt jokes. The story moves a mile a minute, sometimes literally, not letting you breathe. The characters are all talking fast, I did enjoy hearing Hannah Gadsby as a sassy koala though. The movie looks low budget, and I'm actually surprised it made it to the theater. There are a couple of good enough scenes about the family you choose. HITPIG! Is a fine movie I guess, but instantly forgettable and not worth spending money on, unless you have a young kid with ADHD who loves loud noises and bright colours.

This movie is a complete trainwreck. It's as if Tommy Wiseau decided to make an animated film, and the result is this! Where do I even begin? The humor is painfully lame-poop and fart jokes galore. Who finds this funny? Changing adult swear words into "safe" alternatives doesn't make it clever; it makes it cringe-worthy. And the constant, forced references to famous movies and characters? Another failed attempt at humor that falls flat every single time. Oh, and let's not forget the Gordon Hamsy joke... why? Just why?

The main character, the pig, is horrifying to look at. His face is an unsettling mix of human features slapped onto a pig, making him outright ugly and unlikeable. The supporting characters are just as ridiculous-there's a nuke-shooting cat and an angry koala, as if the writers were pulling random ideas out of a hat. And don't get me started on the music-it's atrocious, with laughably bad singing that's almost insulting to listen to.

The plot? Weak and nonsensical. It feels like a fever dream of bad ideas stitched together with no thought or care. The only remotely tolerable part was the one minute of backstory for the pig, but that's not enough to redeem this garbage.

What's worse is that this isn't just a failure for adults-it's an insult to children. Kids are way smarter than the people who wrote, directed, or designed this monstrosity. Children's movies don't have to be dumbed down to the lowest denominator! This film is a slap in the face to animation as an art form.

I usually go easy on animated films because I know how much effort they take, but damn, this one deserves all the hate it gets. I wish I had listened to the one-star reviews. Don't waste your time or money on this dumpster fire.

Hitpig is a pig and a bounty hunter. He is hired by abusive Leapin' Lord of the Leotard to find his lost elephant Pickles which was freed by animal rights activist Letícia dos Anjos.

This is an animated movie from a lesser British studio. There is a lot to nitpick and I don't really want to. I don't always like Hitpig and it doesn't start off well for him. Quite frankly, I rather make it a movie about Pickles and start with him. There is certainly a lot of crazy colorful adventures. I like the elephant. The movie is restrained by how abusive LLL can actually be. He does get real crazy at the end. All the little problems do add up.
