Superjail - Out on DVD April 12th
On April 12 Adult Swim releases their latest animated comedy, Superjail!, on DVD and this time its a mind-bending spatterfest of a show. Every 11 minute episode of Superjail! is bursting at the hand-drawn seams with visceral visuals, taking the long tradition of cartoon carnage to a whole new level of depraved and, it has to be said, colourful insanity.
Housed on an island, in a volcano within a volcano, Superjail is a psychedelic prison run by a megalomaniacal warden and his motley crew. The Warden is the whimsical heir to a hallucinatory correctional facilities empire where grotesque ultra-violence and ridiculous perversion rule the day. Despite the fast-paced and occasionally eye-watering visuals, the shows creators say its all in good fun.
We like to think theyre just funny drawings, series co-creator Christy Karacus says. Its like a 12-year-old kids sketchbook.
There really is an innocence to it, confirms fellow creator Steve Warbrick. I dont think we ever tried to be shocking.
At least once during each episode the entire plot devolves into an innocent epic slaughter of mass proportions, as characters are killed, en masse, in every bizarre manner imaginable.
People think its shocking and violent but were really just trying to make a funny cartoon, Karacus insists.
The DVD contains 10 episodes of 11 mins each, plus a bunch of special features - including never-released-before music video Comin Home by Cheeseburger, the show soundtrack, plus some amazing animatic draft sequences.
