    I absolutely loved the content of this movie, and they presented new information that I hadn't seen or read before. I wasn't, however, impressed with the weird cartoon-y hybrid animation aspects. I felt that, with our hero dead and gone, the animation was closer to the zombie corpse of Bill Hicks' life, able to say brains, but never able to use them.
