Watch Evil Toons For Free

Pretty Good

Brilliant and touching

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Ever reliable Dick Miller plays Burt, owner / operator of a cleaning company. His four very sexy young female employees are dropped off at an old house that - and you can all say it with me now - HAS A DARK HISTORY. The babes never get around to doing very much cleaning, but among the ancient artifacts that they find are a "book of the dead" type of thing. By reading from it, they summon a demon into existence. This demon takes the form of a wolf-like cartoon characterDespite the title, we only ever see one Evil Toon. And writer / co-producer / director Fred Olen Ray never spends nearly as much time exploiting the "Roger Rabbit" hook of combining live action and traditional hand drawn animation as you'd think. Mostly, it's the comely quartet of ladies that is required to carry the movie, and although most of them aren't particularly good as actresses, viewers will still enjoy watching (and ogling) them. Ray does have some fun with this material; some of his dialogue may be patently ridiculous, but he does have his characters repeatedly address tropes and clichés of the horror genre.David Carradine, hired for name value, doesn't do a whole lot until the finale. He's just picking up a paycheck, but Miller is always worth his weight in gold. There's a protracted sequence where he actually watches himself in the Roger Corman classic "A Bucket of Blood". Arte Johnson is mildly amusing as a lecherous neighbor. Among the ladies, well endowed Monique Gabrielle comes off the best. She really does have a knack for playing a "smart, nice" type. Alas, fellow B movie perennial Michelle Bauer is wasted in an extremely brief cameo as Millers' hot to trot young wife.The animation may not be super slick, but the cartoon villain (designed by horror journalist Chas Balun) is a mild hoot. Certainly one major asset is the classy music score by the talented Chuck Cirino.So-so entertainment that doesn't live up to its potential. The sight of our actresses in various stages of undress is obviously the real drawing card.Six out of 10.

This has a LOT in common with Jim Wynorski's SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE II. They were filmed in the same house at around the same time (1990) and have the same basic plot about a handful of buxom, lingerie-clad babes trapped in an old house where one becomes possessed by an evil spirit and starts killing off the others. Both films are also filled with tongue-in-cheek humor and endless in-jokes that you can only appreciate if you've seen your fair share of exploitation / horror / trash movies as well as a weird next door neighbor who is always lurking around outside and appears to be stalking the girls. Oh yeah, and let's not forget a generous helping of T&A, as that's one of the chief reasons these movies were made in the first place. Wynorski's film is the better of the two because the dialogue is funnier and it somehow works as both a horror/slasher flick (with plenty of the expected bloodshed) as well as a send-up of such films, whereas this one is doesn't work at all as a horror film and is more straight-up camp comedy. Still, if you know what you're getting yourself into and are familiar with the director and cast, EVIL TOONS is a pleasant enough way to kill 83 minutes of your time.The home where a sorcerer (David Carradine) hung himself because of an evil, talking book many years earlier is now being sold by Burt (Dick Miller), who's in need of a clean-up crew pronto before the new owners can move in. Enter Terry (Suzanne Ager), Megan (Monique Gabrielle), Roxanne (Madison Stone) and Jan (Barbara Dare), who apparently all work for some cleaning company but show up for work dressed like Hollywood Blvd hookers in cut-off Daisy Dukes and spandex. The girls are paid a whopping 100 dollars each to spend the weekend there and tidy the place up, but after some exploring around and an impromptu strip-tease, Carradine's character shows up at the front door to deliver a special package. Inside is the evil book and the nerdy Megan picks the wrong passage to translate; unleashing a wolf-like cartoon demon in the process. It promptly possesses Roxanne and she begins killing everyone off with eventual plans on releasing other demons from the book after she's harvested a few souls for Satan.While this was heavily-promoted as a Roger Rabbit-style merging of cartoon and live action in a horror-comedy context, you'll be extremely disappointed if you expect too much. There are only two toon sequences in the film lasting just a few minutes apiece and only in one of them does the demon actually interact with one of the actors. The less said about the plot the better, but in lieu of that we get some spirited bad acting, lots of dumb jokes (only some of which are funny), a few semi- famous stars in small roles (Arte Johnson is also on hand as the pervert neighbor) and nude scenes provided by each of the female stars. Miller ends up with the most amusing bit and has a very funny scene watching himself in A BUCKET OF BLOOD on TV and then spurning the sexual advances of his sexpot wife ("Special Guest Star" Michelle Bauer), who then is forced to retreat to her bedroom alone with her chainsaw. If you know anything about Ray, you'll know just what film he's alluding to there.Perhaps the biggest surprise of the cast is hardcore porn actress Stone, who's extremely lively and animated in her role. Her over-the-top campy performance and bizarre Valley Girl dialogue delivery make for a welcome contrast next to the more wooden performances from many of her co-stars and it's actually kind of a shame she didn't end up in more R-rated B- movies. Gabrielle is not a great actress either but she's oddly endearing playing a shy / innocent character for a change (plus her 'mirror scene' is probably the most memorable moment in the entire film). All in all, this hits and misses about equally, but it's at least upbeat, fun and made in good spirits.

Face it, Evil Toons was never conceived as Oscar material. It's a deftly crafted spoof on every B & C horror movie made in the last 50 years. You have your typical Blonde, Brunette & Redhead with their brainy friend (she's the one with the glasses, natch) bimbos who get a job cleaning out an old house. They find an evil object, release a nasty spirit and get killed off in ways that reflect who they are. Then your cameo (David Carridine) comes in and tells the surviving (smart) one how to repair the damage, and everything comes up roses. Looked at it this way, you have a quickie shoot transformed into a masterful spoof. I loved it, you will to, if you don't take it too seriously!

Four Sexy Young Girls? Oh Please, For one thing the Porn is not even necessary, Who the heck wrote that in. For a second, None, and I mean none of those Woman could act, for a third, They got the Title Wrong, It should be Evil Toon (The Toons in the book don't count). The only guy who could really act was the manager, and unfortunately even he sucked. And the Icing on the Cake was that the animated Monster looked like crap. I'm sorry, but this Film IS the worst thing I have seen, go back to writing comic books or what ever the hell you used to do 'Fred'. (if you're even still alive).
