In a world where human beings and puppets live together, when the members of the cast of a children's television show aired during the 1990s begin to get murdered one by one, puppet Phil Philips, a former LAPD detective who fell in disgrace and turned into a private eye, takes on the case at the request of his old boss in order to assist detective Edwards, who was his partner in the past.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliberately crude puppet-noir comedy that treats stuffed animals and felt like hardboiled detectives in a world of explicit humor and dark crime-solving. It's a subversive spoof that leans hard into shock comedy and retro-detective tropes with childlike characters doing very adult things.
