Idiots and Angels

Thought it would be much better since lots of people say that this is his best film, its not that it was a bad story or anything, its just after seeing his other films I found that this one wasn't as visually impressive or had many memorable scenes in it as his others, I liked the first half better than the last half. I was bored in the last half, perhaps no dialogue helped play in that part don't know I don't know it just felt like the movie could of done more.

Idiots and Angels is a film by long time animator and Oscar nominee Bill Plympton. The film is completely without dialogue, relying on characters actions and fantasies to tell the story.

Sí, es una película original y extravagante. Esas cualidades pueden ser tomadas en forma positiva pero también de manera negativa.

"Bill Plympton amazes and amuses yet again in his latest feature animation. I kept thinking, while watching the movie unfold, that I was seeing things I'd never seen before...

In the unit on Self in the Intro Philosophy course that I teach, we talk about the difficulties of imagining the cognition of lesser species, because all animals besides humans don't think in words. This is loosely analogous to seeing a Bill Plympton film, devoid of dialogue as all his works are.

Bill Plympton is a workhorse. Most of his animations are produced virtually alone...

If you're new to Plympton world you may be not at home with the language, but I'm sure you'll fall into it throughout the first 20 minutes or so. The fact is I left the cinema with a lot of words in my mind only to learn soon after that the movie is in fact wordless.

It's good to see a different animation. It's well produced, with good shots.

I always liked the work of the animator Bill Plympton. His shorts (And his movies as well) are not only funny and imaginative (In a very twisted way) but also beautiful to look at: In all his works, Plympton manages to turn the most ordinary things from life into something unpredictable and fascinating, and "Idiots and Angels" isn't the exception.
