Plymptoons announces ‘Hitler’s Folly’ Release
Plympton gives us his own live-action/animated hybrid.
A merciless satire from Academy Award nominee Bill Plympton, HITLER’S FOLLY explores what might have happened if Adolf Hitler’s art career had been more successful and instead of becoming an evil dictator, he was inspired to become an animator like Walt Disney.
Using World War II footage, Hitler’s early artwork and Plympton’s signature animation, this dark mockumentary re-imagines history and explores Hitler’s unfulfilled animation career in the spirit of “The Producers” by Mel Brooks, “Der Fuhrer’s Face” by Walt Disney and “Blitz Wolf” by Tex Avery.
The film stars Dana Ashbrook (Twin Peaks) as Josh and Nate Steinwachs as Hitler.
PLYMPTOONS has announced the US release date of Bill Plympton’s new feature mockumentary HITLER’S FOLLY .HITLER’S FOLLY will be released for free download at www.plymptoons.com on Friday, June 3.
There will also be a FREE New York Premiere of HITLER’S FOLLY on Wednesday, June 1 at 7:00pm at SVA Theater (333 W 23rd St), followed by a Q and A with filmmaker Bill Plympton. After the screening, Plympton will also do special live drawings of a character from the film for interested fans.
