This is one of the best short flicks I've ever seen. I heard it killed at the Wilmington festival...critical acclaim! I'm one of the lucky few to place my hand on a limited run DVD version. Awesome editing tricks, love Sanford and Son, very tongue-in-cheek...whatever that means. Follows along the lines of Sealab 2021...and does it very well. Adult Swim should pick this up (or at least the idea) and crank out some more of these. Of course then the question arises...could they live up to the original?? I'm not sure...kinda doubt it (at least on a regular basis), but I'd sure be willing to give it the old college try. I'm completely running out of things to say, but I have to tell the world how good this flick is...and I think that's enough!

Amazingly Hilarious
sander312 December 2005
Saw this at the Wilmington Film Festival. Clever script and even more clever humor make this one of the best ten minutes I've spent in my life. Nifty little editing tricks help bring out some of the humor. Voices are perfect for the characters and the animations, though never intended by Hasbro, add to the comedic factor. The comedy never had to resort to bathroom-style humor either. It was funny enough without excessive swearing or sexual innuendo. I never realized how fruity G.I. Joe was. This short helped bring that more to light. It got tons of laughs at the festival... dare I say more than some of the greats such as John Dilworth and Don Hertzfeldt.
