Review of Evil Toons

Evil Toons (1992)
4/10
Barely any "toons", evil or otherwise, ugly women, not enough Monique Gabrielle
27 March 2016
This movie's title, "Evil Toons", is a misnomer. There is only one "toon" in this movie, so the word should be written in the singular. Furthermore, this animated creature only appears for about a scene and a half - in the beginning, when summoned by some mysterious ancient book, and at the end, when it is vanquished, promising to return in "the sequel", though I don't think they made one.

Only the first scene really features any human-cartoon interaction, and this ain't "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" The animation is so poor that I assume the movie's micro budget couldn't really afford to do it, even when it's this shoddy, for more than a few minutes of screen time.

I think the four starlets were supposed to be college girls because, well, aren't they always? One of them looks to be in her early forties, and when the token slut invites her jock boyfriend in, he doesn't look any younger, with his thinning hair and beer gut.

Of the four, only two are attractive, but of course they all show their breasts. The slut one is among the attractive half of the cast, at least until she takes her top off and we see some weird looking nipple location. Picture a bug-eyed boy with a fly on the end of his nose. I assume these are fake, if not because of their (not overly generous) size, certainly because of the nipples. Mother nature doesn't make them that close together, right?

The other attractive one, and the only one who generates any sympathy from the audience, is played by the beautiful Monique Gabrielle, who looks much younger than the other three and only has one topless scene.

The other two women have that bizarre '80s style hair that looks like animal fur, like they were dressed in Chewbacca costumes for their last movie and forgot to take the headpiece off. They look much older, if I haven't made that point strongly enough yet, and neither are much to look at, besides.

Aside from Gabrielle, the movie does have something else going for it: Dick Miller. Miller is good in anything. David Carradine also shows up, looking suitably creepy, but not doing much else.

This movie really has nothing else that might make it worth watching. For a movie supposedly about "evil toons" there is only one toon who is badly animated and barely glimpsed, most of the women are old and ugly, and the "story" is just cliché without any life at all. This is for Monique Gabrielle and Dick Miller die-hards only.
