Ratings and reviews

I admit, I'm generally not a fan of "rotoscoping" live actors, particularly the good ones in this film. But I'm so glad I took the plunge on "Mars." Geoff Marslett's imagined look at America's attempt to populate another planet is at times hilarious (especially Kinky Friedman as POTUS) and even achieves a level of ethos I didn't expect of America's place in the world (or in this case, the universe).

No idea how this film flew under the radar... it's such a trip. Really well-crafted storytelling and simple but powerful animation.
