Year of production : 1992 Director(s) : Bill PLYMPTON
Exploring the anxieties of rejection as an artist, THE TUNE is a strangely romantic comedy about Del, a struggling songwriter who must come up with the perfect ditty for slimeball mogul Mr. Mega, or run the risk of losing his job and his girlfriend Didi. En route to meet his boss, Del accidentally stumbles into the surreal wonderland of Flooby-Nooby, where Elvis-impersonating dogs, nose-less cab drivers and sadistic bellhops each perform their own outrageous musical numbers! Is this crazed cast of colorful characters enough to inspire Del's greatest hit, or will he remain a flat note in Flooby-Nooby forever?Nominated for a Sundance Grand Jury Prize, THE TUNE is Plympton's first full-length extravaganza, hailed as “pure animated fun” (New York Daily News).
