I like animation and the Bros. Quay as much as the next guy, but when I saw this in the theater I found it overly long, self-indulgant, and the dubbed voices obnoxious. It reminds me of the sort of movie you'd see on Sunday morning on TV before the local stations got their network feeds: kind of dreary, outdated, and more farty than arty. Consider that this guy is now a sacred cow and reviewer-proof before you buy this DVD.
