I'm Hip

A tragically hip cat sings and dances hyperkinetically to Dave Frishberg's ironic title song.

Good heavens, it's a cartoon! John Musker directs it, and if, like me, you are a fan of Frishberg's work, you'll have to admit it would be harder to do "My Attorney Bernie" or even "Van Lingle Mungo", although "Blizzard Of Lies" offers some interesting possibilities. I enjoyed it, but I fear rather more for Frishberg's cynicism than the poorly matched visuals which seem too anxious to please its audience. That could well be intentional, but after decades of great studio-era cartoons, I am perhaps more than a touch jaded.
