Crust

About This Movie

So, 'Crust' from '87 is this oddball animated gem. The whole vibe feels like a fever dream, right? Picture this - two characters, Evan Rude, who's like a knight with a propeller for a head, and Ropeshair, a bizarre mix of football and an African mask. They sit at a kitchen table, bickering about a broken biscuit. It’s such a strange setup that just drips with surrealism. The animation style is raw, giving it that distinct indie feel. You can tell the voice work is done with a certain playfulness; Bruce Currie and John E Hughes really lean into these eccentric roles. It has this slow, almost meandering pace that somehow pulls you deeper into its quirky world. Definitely one for those who appreciate the unconventional.
