Oh shit
Peter Jackson's second film. A milestone in cinema.
MORE CARNALITY FROM THE DIRECTOR OF BAD TASTE! -
MEET THE FEEBLES, a puppet tragedy of gross proportions, relates the fateful events that lead up to the infamous Feebles Variety Massacre - a day that rocked the puppet world!
Bletch, a cigar chomping Walrus has his hands full with his cast of egocentric show-biz stars. When you've got an incompetent panic-stricken fox as a director, a junkie knife-throwing frog, and hare with a fatal disease as an MC, things do not look too sunny. But Bletch's biggest problem is with his star and long time lover, Heidi the Hipppo, who suspects that he is having an affair with a Siamese cat named Samantha. With two failed suicide attempts and her mental balance totally destroyed, Heidi makes an unannounced entrance center-stage.
Color. 92 Minutes.

Do you really think people are interested in nasal sex?
Meet the Feebles is the
vilest feature-length
puppet movie ever made, and will likely continue to hold this record for some time to come. It's the only time that plush toys have made me feel
nausea. It's funny too. I loved it.
That rash on your groin looks pretty ugly. Don't taste too good neither.
This film shows that Peter Jackson's extraordinary talents are largely wasted on Tolkien. The only moment that comes close to his earlier work is the looks like meat's back on the menu, boys! scene in The Two Towers.
This is a television variety show, not a homage to Soviet Realism. Good Grief! I asked for a pennant not a pedant.
Warning: Lots of spoilers below. Read no futher if you don't want to spoil the fun.
The plot, such as it is, depicts a variety show, "The Feebles Variety Hour", which is having problems on the day before opening night. The temperamental star, Heidi the Hippo (modelled on Miss Piggy) is overeating again, her boyfriend, the sleazy Bletch (a Walrus) is doing drug deals, marketing the porn made after hours by his dirty rat of a stage manager, and screwing a chorus-cat. Everyone seems to be having some kind of crisis or vice. In the case of the rabbit with an STD and the knife-thrower with drug withdrawal shakes, crises caused by vices. The exception is the naive new guy, Robert; and Lucile, the sweet young poodle he is smitten with. Hilarity and death ensues.
Oh god, not another panty-sniffer. He's going to want me to piss in his mouth next.

I'll have to change my suit. I'm covered in ambergris.
Obtaining a copy of Meet the Feebles is difficult. In Australia you may be lucky - specialist sci-fi and cult film shops have been known to stock it. Otherwise, you may have more luck a dodgy sale on with Ebay or an illicit download than on Amazon.com. This is sad, as this unique artistic vision deserves a financial reward. Not that Peter Jackson needs the money anymore after Lord of the Rings.
He he. You liquidated him real good, boss.

I remember all right. I had to go the hospital with severe chaffing.
