    The New York Times: “…and overt racism, plus a completely out-of-character and out-of-sequence clip of the Hindenburg disaster is nothing less than jarring. Voice actors change mid-scene and rarely match up with the frame-a-second animation which would have been insultingly inadequate even if it were complete. The movie as a whole is as surreal, disjointed and jarring as anything Lynch or Pollock have created, but unlike them it does so without purpose, direction of even, apparently, intention. The creative errors and technical mistakes that alternately dominate the production conspire to comprehensively obliterate the maker’s promise of a film both heartwarming and whimsical.”

    Box art designer: “…whimsical.”

    Edit: I’ve never seen the film. I just hate it when they do this.
