Cartoonist Bill Plympton Returns with Idiots and Angels
Variety calls the cartoon noir Idiots and Angels “Bill Plympton’s best animated feature to date.” When we first meet the main character—a violent, oversexed misanthrope with no name—in his sleazy corner of a penciled-in world, he appears doomed. But Plympton (Hair High, SDFF 24; I Married a Strange Person, SDFF 21) propels this alcoholic loser toward metamorphosis on a grand scale.
Plympton is known for his unique, hand drawn style of cartoons. In this podcast episode, he sits down with film critic Robert Denerstein and discusses his style and the work and dedication it takes to create a hand drawn full-length feature like Idiots and Angels.
