Squashbucklers (The Animated Movie)

Yes, it’s Squashbucklers, the movie about militant squash who fight for survival against the dastardly vegetarians trying to eat them! And, naturally, because they are squash, they would use to fight back the same types of weapons that people would use to prepare them for food: bladed weapons, like swords and kitchen knives and vegetable peelers.

Poisoned and embittered by a world gone mad, a world where people want to eat them and bully people who would eat meat instead of vegetables (meat from animals that would also eat our heroes), our motley band of heroes become pirates and brigands, swearing revenge and sword-fighting their way through life against the hippies who killed their families and threaten their loved ones! No-one is safe, when the Cuisinarted becomes the Cuisinarter!

Oh, and if this movie is a hit, wait for the sequel: Rat-a-tat-ouille, the movie where our squash heroes get machine guns to fight vegans with! (But their machine guns only shoot corn kernels, and ultimately they are routed and become ratatouille. Oh, sorry: spoiler alert!)

Man, would merchandising for this movie be easy! Just paste some googlie eyes and an action figure sword to real squash! Kids will love them all (until they begin to spoil)!
