Cheatin'

About This Movie

Cheatin' is a unique piece from Bill Plympton that stands out with its hand-drawn animation style, which really lends to its quirky charm. It tells a rather poignant tale of love through the lens of whimsical humor and a hint of dark drama. The pacing feels a bit erratic at times, but it’s all part of its character. The themes of jealousy and insecurity are explored in such a surreal manner, which is classic Plympton. The characters, particularly the disgraced magician, add an odd layer of depth amidst the visual gags. The atmosphere is rich with Plympton’s signature art, blending grotesque and beautiful in a way that makes you think. It’s not just a love story, but a reflection on the absurdities of relationships.
