The Drawn Together Movie: The Movie!

The Drawn Together Movie: The Movie! is a 2010 animated comedy film that features the ensemble cast of the original television series Drawn Together. This irreverent adult animation reunites the eccentric characters of the reality-TV parody series as they navigate an over-the-top world filled with humor, satire, and meta-references. The voice acting ensemble includes Adam Carolla, Carol Channing, and Christine Ebersole among others, bringing back the beloved characters with the irreverence and comedic timing fans loved from the original series.

The concept of the film revolves around the characters from the Drawn Together series who have been living together in a mansion as part of a reality show. The characters are a caricature mash-up of various animated series characters, including a superhero, a princess, a vulgar video-game adventurer, a kooky sponge, amongst others. These wildly diverse characters set the stage for a range of comedic situations as they navigate their peculiar world.

Adam Carolla lends his voice to Spanky Ham, a brash pig with hilariously offensive and crude humor. Carol Channing voices the dainty, outdated, but downwright inane Toot Braunstein, while Christine Ebersole brilliantly emulates the vapid, glitzy 'gay Disney princess' trope as Princess Clara. These voice-acting performances are a standout feature of the movie, injecting the outrageous scenarios and sharply satirical dialogues with energy and vibrant personality.

The storyline of The Drawn Together Movie: The Movie! is deliberately overstated and farcical. When the characters discover that their show has been cancelled, they're thrust into an adventure that takes them through bizarre settings and scenarios as they attempt to handle their newfound 'reality.' The film maintains the essence of the TV series by relying heavily on lampooning popular culture, including animation tropes and reality TV cliches.

Just like the original series, the movie is not for the faint-hearted. It is filled with adult-oriented humor, unapologetically pushing the envelope with raunchy jokes, politically incorrect sarcasm, and extreme scenes of animated violence. Its humor thrives on shock value, crossing lines in ways that will either leave audiences laughing hysterically or shaking their heads in disbelief.

The Drawn Together Movie: The Movie! continues the same vein of parody and satire that the original series was loved for, substitifying its comedic hits with a fresh set of skits and character dynamics. Alongside this, the film layers in a self-referential storyline that digs at the animation industry, from budget constraints to the changes in animated humor over the years.

Visually, the film mixes different animation styles to create its unique brand of comedy. Each character stands out with their distinctive visuals that caricature well-known animations, often to absurdly humorous effect. The animation style morphs and shifts throughout the film, playing with flash animation, stop motion, and traditional 2D styles, further enhancing the comedic and parodical vibe of the film.

A notable aspect of The Drawn Together Movie: The Movie! is the return of the original series' creators, Dave Jeser and Matthew Silverstein, as writers and directors. Their irreverent sensibilities guide the film, ensuring its sharp wit, showcasing their knack for cultural satire, physical comedy, and subversive humor.

In conclusion, The Drawn Together Movie: The Movie! is a bold venture into adult animation, sustaining the stylistic and comedic quirks of the original series while offering fresh satirical takes on popular culture. The film may not be for everyone due to its edgy, at times shocking humor, but for viewers who enjoy animated satire at its most fearless and unsubtle, this movie promises a whirlwind of laughter and outrageous moments. Audiences that cherished the unpredictable and audacious humor of the Drawn Together series will find this reunion galore an entertaining extension of the series' legacy of hilarity and absurdity.
