OK some of you will hate this movie, while some of you will love it.  First off if you like Ren and Stimpy and Heavy Metal, then this is for you.  Now if you're a cartoon geek who can dictate and deliver lines from obscure Japanese 90's toons, then you will hate this.  I guess it's one of those movies that fall right in the middle.  Almost any movie that Rob Zombie deals with has the same outcome.  Some Love it, and some hate it.  Same with this.  In my opinion it's just a raunchy cartoon that made me laugh, nothing more.  I wasn't expecting anything less.  Based on the comic book of the same name our story takes place in the world of Monsterland.  El Superbeasto ( Pappa ) is an ex Luchador that is washed and past his time.  Not that it matters though.  Armed with his sexy sister Sidekick Suzi X ( Moon Zombie ) the two do battle with a sleazy character named Dr. Satan ( Giamatti ) who wants to rule monsterland with the help of Miss Velvet Von Black ( Dawson ).  Yeah, nothing for real content, and a corny plot, but c'mon it's A Rob Zombie cartoon.....What the fuck did you expect?  I liked it though.  Once again it was nice to see somthing for Adults and not dumb kids.  I only had a couple of gripes though.  First, we have a reunion of sorts with Rob Zombie characters from other movies.  Capt. Spaulding, Otis, and even Banjo & Sullivan show up, but Dr. Satan looks stupid and nothing like the HO1000C version.  I would've loved to see that savage fucker brought to life via animation!!!!  The second is the illustrations.  There was a HUGE difference between the comic, and this animated version.  Maybe they thought it would be too offsetting for some viewers.  Like I said before, if you loved Ren & Stimpy, then put mass boobs, sex, and cussing into that mix and this is what you got.  All in all though, it reminded me of a Juiced up Fritz The Cat.
