Cheatin'


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes

I wasn't really aware of the name Bill Plympton before I saw a kickstarted campaign for this film pop up on a few news sites. It's an intriguing animation style, very rough and fluid with extreme angles. So unsurprisingly, there's a pretty surreal story that goes along with it. Also a very cartoonish story too.

It's a cute little story of a misunderstanding that leads a young and in love couple to start cheating on each other when neither wanted to. Further complicated with the introduction of a machine that lets a character swap bodies...

It's filled with humour and wonderful characterisations for people that don't really speak at all. It's pure animation and it's visually fascinating. Very enjoyable and quite funny.
