This is a great movie, but -- make no mistake -- it's not Disney.

Newlyweds often discover that their mates have odd quirks once they begin living together, but in Plympton's movie, that truth is taken to cartoon extreme.

A memorable journey through the tormented, talented mind of Bill Plympton.

At 73 minutes, [Plympton's] obsessions become repetitive and even a little dull.

Audience Reviews for I Married a Strange Person

I remember getting a fuzzy, warm feeling when Plympton said to the TIFF audience I was in that this film was inspired by a lot of the gore films he's seen. What we have here is one of the strangest, violent and funniest animated movies I have ever seen. It's a real shame that it never really went anywhere, it's really one of a kind. See it with people who appreciate this type of thing and it can be a real party flick. Just don't watch too many times or your brain might melt.
