Evolution: The Animated Movie

(2001)

Making a cartoon out of the movie Evolution was a pretty stupid idea, because if you didn't like the movie you wouldn't watch the cartoon, and if you did like the movie you probably have trouble remembering to pull down your pants down before you take a shit, much less figuring out how to operate a television set. The alien monsters come back, so of course they get the same morons who were in the movie to fight them again instead of calling in, say, a bunch of Marines with flamethrowers or something. First the monsters wreck city hall or whatever (in one part they show the mayor barricading his door and he has, I swear to fucking God, a huge pot plant in his office), then some old guy's house, and finally they take over the sewer. To fight them, the good guys make a bunch of weapons out of fire extinguishers and shampoo, plus, because every cartoon has to have a stupid, annoying sidekick, they make this three-eyed blob that likes to sit on people's faces and fart. It's a pretty bad cartoon, but that shouldn't be too surprising since it was made by a company called "The Incredible World of Dick".
