How to Kiss (1988)
9/10
Sick and twisted--just the way I like 'em!!
20 September 2008
This short by Bill Plympton was included on the PLIMPTOONS DVD. This 60 minute set of early Bill Plympton shorts is a must-see for animation freaks, but since it's not his latest stuff, such wonderful shorts as GUIDE DOG and PARKING aren't included. Most of the shorts are "fall on the floor laughing" funny and only a crabby old curmudgeon couldn't enjoy these films!

While this isn't the best film Plympton ever made, it sure is a very good one and it's hard not to like the film since it has such a twisted and funny sense of humor. A serious-sounding narrator gives a lecture on how to kiss. Yet despite the serious tone, the animations are hilarious--with all kinds of insane mayhem occurring while this couple kisses. It's incredibly bizarre and will make you laugh at the ludicrousness of it all.

Surreal and sick--it's yet another reason to see and enjoy the work of Plympton.
