Why It Crackles

Show Details

Comic visionary Frank Miller’s tribute to Americana & Godzilla.

- In the normally saccharine sweet world of children’s cartoons, The Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot was a breath of fresh air. Inspired by retro Americana and giant monster movies, this is animation both children and adults can enjoy.

- Jonathan Cook shines as the voice of Big Guy, delivering the insanely patriotic dialogue with such gravitas you can’t help but be entertained.

- Favorite Quote: "The only thing more piping hot than mom's apple pie is the sting of my anti-terrorist lowlife mag-popper!" – The Big Guy (Jonathan Cook)

- In the comic the Big Guy was America’s robot, while Rusty was Japan’s, but in the cartoon both robots were built by the United States Government.
