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 Zappa¹s 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 Bickford¹s animated universe: nothing is as it seems and the "little guy² must always triumph over the "big bullies². Tracing the origins of Bickford¹s 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 Alzheimer¹s. 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.
