In the early 2000s, Aqua Teen Hunger Force emerged as one of Adult Swim's most popular original series. The animated show follows three anthropomorphic fast food items â Frylock, Meatwad, and Master Shake â as they navigate absurd and often surreal situations in suburban New Jersey. In 2007, the first (and only) Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie was released in theaters. Titled Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters, the film promised to expand on the show's irreverent humor and nonsensical storytelling.
The movie begins with an absurd premise â the Aqua Teens' house is destroyed by a mysterious object called the "Insanoflex." The trio sets out to find out the object's origins and ends up getting involved in a government conspiracy involving a giant robotic poodle and a group of extraterrestrial fast food items.
Throughout the movie's brief runtime (just over an hour), the Aqua Teens encounter a plethora of oddball characters, including a scientist obsessed with making his own human-machine hybrid, a gang of aliens who communicate solely through farts, and a group of goth teenagers who dabble in the dark arts.
The film's plot is often nonsensical and convoluted, but it's clear that the creators (co-creators Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro) were having a blast taking their beloved characters to the big screen. The movie's bizarre humor won't be for everyone, but fans of the show will likely appreciate its commitment to embracing its weirdest tendencies.
One of the standout elements of Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters is its impressive voice cast. Dana Snyder, Dave Willis, and Carey Means reprise their roles as Frylock, Meatwad, and Master Shake, respectively, bringing their signature blend of deadpan humor and absurdity to the big screen.
They're joined by a host of guest stars, including classic rock icon Bruce Campbell (playing himself), rock duo Neil Fallon and Tim Sult of Clutch (playing the Insanoflex's creators), and comedians Patton Oswalt and Jon Glaser (playing a pair of government agents).
The movie also features an original score by hip-hop producer and DJ Danger Mouse, who infuses the soundtrack with a funky, electronic energy that perfectly suits the film's off-kilter tone.
Despite its flaws (such as its meandering plot and occasionally offensive humor), Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters is an entertaining (if bizarre) expansion of the show's universe. Its absurdist humor and commitment to its offbeat sensibilities make it a must-see for fans of the series, while newcomers may find themselves amused (or bewildered) by its unconventional approach to storytelling.
Ultimately, Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters is a love letter to the show's dedicated following, a group of fans who have embraced the Aqua Teens and their surreal adventures since they first appeared on the small screen over a decade ago.
