Film 001 - A Town Called Panic (2009)

'Panique au Village' 


Directors - Stéphane Aubier / Vincent Patar

"They Came... they Saw... They Panicked..." 

Not one from the Big List but the film that helped to kick start this challenge.

Horse, Indian and Cowboy live together but due to an unfortunate accident, resulting from a forgotten birthday and a home made Bar-B-Que, the three are left homeless. However, attempts to rebuild their home result in a series of mysterious nocturnal thefts which lead them on a subterranean and sub-aqua adventure. Will they find the wall thief and more importantly will horse ever get to his piano lesson? 

To say this is surreal would be understatement of the year - but then most children's animation is now. The frantic stop-motion antics also mean it would take a couple of viewing to catch all the jokes but then that’s an excellent excuse to watch it again.


Classic scene - The Kung-Fu scientists in the giant robot penguin (See? Bonkers!)
