The Thing What Lurked in the Tub

Very funny animated short produced as an animation-school project. The voice of Lugmeyer is Chris Miller, who would go on to DreamWorks and eventually co-direct Shrek 3 (Lead Story Board of Shrek II, Story Board Shrek I) and do voice work as Gepetto and The Mirror in all films.

The short was featured in MTV's liquid television, along with Millers simultaneously released work, "Lee Press on Limbs".

The short features classic cartoon animation ala Warner Brothers. Lugmeyer is a despicable character. The punchline is one of the best short punchlines you'll see, up there with the infamous Bambi vs. Godzilla.

This has got to be one of the sickest cartoons I've seen in my life! It's also hilariously funny. Our "hero" is repulsive to an extreme and at times I was cheering for the thing referred to in the title. But this is a very well-done piece of animation. Just bring your sense of humour. Those easily offended by the coarse (i.e., Andrew "Dice" Clay) should avoid this by all means. Recommended to those with a fondness for animation AND with a strong stomach.
