Director: Edward McHenry Rory McHenry Year: 2010 Language: English Country: United Kingdom

This film is completely crazy, set during an alternative World War II, it follows Winston Churchill's fight against the Nazis but in this alternative world, the Nazis manage to occupy London and Churchill flees north to Hadrian's Wall to mount a counter attack. This is all told through stop motion animation with miniatures that look only slightly higher budget that Barbie dolls.

Almost from the outset, the film feels similar to Team America. The miniatures feel similar to the marionettes in Team America and the tone and humour of the film is similar. The plot is completely bizarre and the gags range from the truly bizzare to slapstick through innuendo and any number of other comedy topics. This film is laugh a minute, I was almost crying with laughter in places and there are some great single moments.

All in all, this film is completely ridiculous (in a good way).
