The Drawn Together Movie: The Movie! (also known as The Drawn Together Movie or Drawn Together: The Movie) is a 2010 American adult animated direct-to-DVD mystery comedy film based on the Comedy Central animated television series Drawn Together written and executive produced by creators Dave Jeser and Matt Silverstein, produced by Brendan Burch and Richard Quan, and directed by Greg Franklin. The film is the first Drawn Together release since the TV show's cancellation, and the film itself deals with it.

The original cast returned to voice their characters and features the guest voice of Seth MacFarlane as "I.S.R.A.E.L." (Intelligent Smart Robot Animation Eraser Lady), and Vernon Wells as the villainous Network Head. While the television series was produced and animated by Rough Draft Studios using digital ink and paint, the film was instead produced and animated

by 6 Point Harness and done entirely in flash animation using Toon Boom and Adobe Flash Professional due to budget cuts.

Plot

Foxxy Love discovers that she can swear without being censored, and realizes that the TV show Drawn Together has been cancelled in favor of "The Suck My Taint Show". Foxxy calls the network to find out why they were cancelled. The Network Head, upon hearing from Foxxy, learns that the housemates are still alive and summons I.S.R.A.E.L. (Intelligent Smart Robot Animation Eraser Lady), a robot designed specifically to erase cartoon characters.

Once they escape from I.S.R.A.E.L., Foxxy insists that the way for them to survive is to get their TV show back on the air. Clara, refusing to believe that she is not a real princess, claims that her father can protect them. Captain Hero, Xandir and Ling-Ling decide to go with Clara, while Spanky and Wooldoor decide to go with Foxxy to try to get their show back on the air. While the others are arguing, Toot steals a van and drives off alone.

Clara, Hero, Molly (a corpse Hero believes to be his girlfriend), Xandir and Ling-Ling arrive at Clara's kingdom, expecting to find refuge. Clara encounters the king of the land, who is not her father. The guards end up dismembering and eventually killing Clara, but the other three manage to escape.

Meanwhile, Foxxy, Spanky and Wooldoor visit the Suck My Taint Girl, who reveals herself to be a fan of the housemates' show. She tells the group that they were cancelled because vulgar and offensive content is only acceptable when your show "makes a point", and that if they want to get Drawn Together back on the air, they will need to get a point, which they can do by making a visit to Make-A-Point Land.

The wizard of Make-A-Point Land agrees to give the group a point, and presents them with a box containing the previously mentioned point. Wooldoor opens the box to find out it contains an eraser bomb which erases him from existence. It is then that the Network Head, the Jew Producer and I.S.R.A.E.L. show up to erase the remaining cast. The Suck My Taint Girl reveals that she is the Network Head's wife.

The Jew Producer manages to convince I.S.R.A.E.L. to spare the housemates, and she then impales the Network Head on a spike. The Network Head opens his coat to reveal that he had enough explosive erasers strapped to his waist to destroy all of Make-A-Point Land. The Jew Producer and the Suck My Taint Girl struggle for possession of the detonator, in the process dropping it, erasing all of Make-A-Point Land. The housemates make it out just in time with the help of The Giant Who Shits Into His Own Mouth.

The housemates visit the remains of the erased Drawn Together house. The Jew Producer's son shows up to inform them that he might be able to help them by giving them a direct-to-DVD movie. I.S.R.A.E.L. arrives at the scene and she and the giant become smitten with each other. Everyone laughs happily until Spanky accidentally steps on an eraser bomb caught in the ground, which erases them all from existence, never to be seen again.

Production

Animation

While the series was animated by Rough Draft Studios in South Korea and Glendale, California using digital ink and paint, the movie was animated by 6 Point Harness in Los Angeles, CA using Flash animation and Toon Boom. This was because the movie had to be done under half the cost of the series. While the movie had a new crew of animators and artist, the director of the film, Greg Franklin, had actually worked on the original pilot for Drawn Together, which was originally done in flash.^[2]

When the series was animated by Rough Draft, the creators, Dave Jeser & Matt Silverstein, weren't that much involved with the animation process. In the movie however, the creators were more involved, even as far as to tweak-out jokes. The animation in the film also proved to be quicker than the show.^[3]

Release and critical reception

Though originally announced for a November 2009 release,^[4] the film's release date was pushed to March 23, 2010, then released on April 20, 2010.^[5] The film premiered at the 2010 SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, on March 18, 2010.^[6][7]

The film was released April 20, 2010 on DVD, and on Blu-ray exclusively at Best Buy.^[8] The film was released on DVD in Australia later that year on October 6, 2010.^[9]

In contrast DVD Verdict was more favorable, commenting that the movie was "first and foremost a goodbye gift to fans of the series and they should have no problem enjoying the myriad references and in-jokes scattered about, as well as all of the crude humor."^[12]

Controversy

The film was criticised for its antisemitism, even though the producers said that "it was supposed to make fun of bigotry".^[13]
