Lauded animator Bill Plympton will be releasing his feature mockumentary Hitler’s Folly for free on Friday, June 3rd. On that day you simply have to head on over to www.plymptoons.com and you can stream the film for free!
A merciless satire from Academy Award nominee Bill Plympton, HITLER'S FOLLY explores what might have happened if Adolf Hitler's art career had been more successful and instead of becoming an evil dictator, he was inspired to become an animator like Walt Disney.
Using World War II footage, Hitler's early artwork and Plympton's signature animation, this dark mockumentary re-imagines history and explores Hitler's unfulfilled animation career in the spirit of "The Producers" by Mel Brooks, "Der Fuhrer's Face" by Walt Disney and "Blitz Wolf" by Tex Avery.
The film stars Dana Ashbrook (Twin Peaks) as Josh and Nate Steinwachs as Hitler.
There will also be a free New York Premiere of Hitler’s Folly a couple days earlier on Wednesday, June 1 at 7:00pm at SVA Theater (333 W 23rd St). The screening will be followed by a Q and A Plympton. After the screening, Plympton will also do special live drawings of a character from the film for interested fans.
