Monster Road Dir. Brett Ingram US 2004  Monster Road explores the dazzling and fantastic worlds of legendary underground clay animator Bruce Bickford. A cult figure from his days as Frank Zappa's house animator (Baby Snakes, The Amazing Mr. Bickford), Bickford works alone in a basement studio where he produces films that would make the California Raisins tremble in their oversize sneakers. Animated torture chambers, hamburgers that morph into flesh-eating monsters, and human skin that literally crawls away are just part of the landscape in his animated worlds. Only two rules apply in Bickford's animated universe: nothing is as it seems and the "little guy" must always triumph over the "big bullies". Tracing the origins of Bickford's wildly unique sensibility, the film journeys back to his childhood in a competitive household during the paranoia of the Cold War and examines his relationship with his father, a retired aerospace engineer facing the onset of Alzheimer's. Along with a glimpse into the world of a true visionary, the film reveals a story that, like childhood itself is at once scary and funny, sad and baffling.
