Another cracked animated series from the Cartoon Network's
"Adult Swim" programming block, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Volume One's
blend of superhero action and skewed humor should provide plenty of nourishment
to fans of offbeat animation. The Aqua Teen Hunger Force is a squabbling trio
of fast-food items (milkshake, fries and a ball of hamburger meat) that have
joined together to fight a host of monsters, aliens, and mad scientists in their
native New Jersey. Fans of traditional cartoons may find the surreal plotlines
and low-fi animation unmanageable but viewers who enjoy other Adult Swim
programming like Space Ghost Coast to
Coast (series creators Chris Willis and Matt Maiellaro are veterans from
that show) will find the Force's adventures side-splitting. |
