The despotic Head of State rules over the Land of Evil with a band of sinister minions, insects and rotted vegetables.

Critic Reviews
-
Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times
The narrative ... is mere scaffolding for Barta's richly realized world, a kind of hand-hewn 3-D cinema that's testament to the limitlessness of imagination.
-
Farran Smith Nehme, New York Post
The movie is passionately retro, but Barta shows his methods can create a world every bit as engrossing as the latest CGI.
-
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
A strange, and not entirely successful, hybrid of a kiddie story and dark, mature themes.
-
Manohla Dargis, New York Times
There may be a metaphor afloat here - something about the folly of those who devour their own - in between some glorious imagery and what is finally a sweet little story.
-
David Fear, Time Out New York
Barta's shorts are available on DVD; you're better off getting a dose of the uncut goods.
