Bill Plympton's Idiots and Angels w/ Hot Dog
In Idiots and Angels, a masterpiece of cartoon noir, animator Bill Plympton sketches the graduations between allegorical good and evil as a set of angel's wings sprouts from our misanthropic antihero's shoulder blades overnight. Angel is a selfish, abusive, morally bankrupt man who hangs out at his local bar, berating the other patrons. The wings make him do good deeds, contrary to his nature. He desperately tries to rid himself of the good wings, but eventually finds himself fighting those who view the wings as their tickets to fame and fortune. Angels and Idiots is a dark comedy about a mans battle for his soul.
Idiots and Angels had its U.S. premiere at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival, and it was called out as a special distinction feature film at the 2008 Annecy International Animated Film Festival.
