There’s something really quite fitting about the idea that these critters, created by and for marketeers with a dollar sign in each eye, might now be on the hunt for someone who is exploiting their image without their consent. Their search takes them to New Jersey where they encounter a creature, more suitable for a “Transformers” movie. It’s got all of their patter and it’s got all of their moves so what can they do to thwart it’s commercially malevolent intentions? It’s not so much the action here as the writing that delivers the punches. It takes aim at most of the hands that once fed them so successfully whilst also having a pop at disposable culture and short-termism - all obliquely and with tongues in cheeks, or half-shells. It looks as if it could have had plenty more to say, but given there are only seven minutes for them to make their point, they still manage to entertain, spin around acrobatically and provoke a bit of thought, too. “Cowabunga” - with the emphasis on the “bung”?
