"Disgusting, vile and
outrageous and we mean that lovingly!" - Jami Bernard, NY Daily News
Like Jim Henson's Muppet movies, Meet the Feebles is a film starring an entire
cast of puppets. However, in Meet the Feebles, Peter Jackson takes the concept
of the cute puppet movie and stands on its ear. The story is set in a run-down
theatre in the sleaziest part of town. This is the home of the "Feebles Variety
Show," a second-rate show with a third-rate producer and no-rate performers. The
producer, a cigar-chomping walrus called Bletch, finally has a chance to crack
the big time. Tonight's performance is to be televised live, and if it rates
well, the Feebles will get their own syndicated series. Bletch has his
characters that make up the Feebles company. When you've got an incompetent,
panic stricken fox as director, a rabbit in the throes of V.D. as MC, a junkie,
knife-throwing frog and a rat who makes pornos in the basement with cows and
cockroaches, you know it ain't gonna be easy. Things get worse for Bletch when a
drug deal he sets up with a psychotic boar turns nasty and a war with Mr> Big
the Whale, the undisputed king of the underwaterworld, ensues. But Bletch's
biggest problem is with his long time lover, Heidi the Hippo, who has been
replaced in the show with his new mistress, a Siamese pussy named Samantha.
Heidi, her mental balance totally destroyed, is about to make an unannounced
entrance center stage. Hell hath no fury like a scorned hippo with a machine
gun…
