Display       : PAL&   This  spoof  of the Thunderbirds TV&puppet  series was made straight after&Grove's  Road  Hog animation but lacks&that  ones  strong story-line. What we&have  here  is  essentially a one joke&movie  with  the joke being just a bit&too  predictable,  as  Bart would say.&It's all about Thunderbirds 1, 2 and 3&being  called  to  go  to  a rescue. I&won't  tell  you any more as even from&that brief scenario you may be able to
guess the outcome.&   Some  of  the  animation  is   good&though  with  the  three   craft   all&perfectly  drawn.  There's  one  scene&showing  Thunderbird  3 as it suddenly&accelerates    which    easily    out-&Schwartz's  the  aerotoon anims in the&anthropomorphic  aircraft  wars - very&fast   and   fluid   and   beautifully	animated.&   I  do wish the puppet looked like a&Thunderbird's  puppet  should  though.&Where's  the  wooden jaws? What's here&looks  like  a poorly drawn human. Not&very  flattering  to  the real puppets&considering  that on a good night they&could  act  Olivier  off the stage. (I&haven't ripped the puppet picture here&quite  as  well  as I should have. For&some  reason  I've  lost two shades of
blue - sorry.)&   A  pretty  good  animation  but not&quite  funny  enough. If you're taking&the  mickey  your aim needs to be very&accurate  -  this  one misses the mark&due  to  using a too easily thought up
plot. Worth a look though.
