I watched this immediately after returning home from having my wisdom teeth extracted. It is perfect all the time, and it is PERFECT when you're still under the effects of anesthesia.

We came here to burgle your turts!
This is an instant obsession. It's such an interesting combination of charm and whimsy with darkness. The songs are so catchy, and it is unexpectedly laugh out loud funny. I was trying to lock some of my favorite quotes to memory but they kept getting replaced with new favorites. I want to watch it again already.
