Gahan Wilson's The Kid (2001)

8.0/10 70 min Animation Comedy

Overview

The stellar drawing style of illustrator Grahan Wilson – world renowned cartoonist for the New Yorker – comes to life in this off-beat story about growing up. Based in the comic strip “Nuts”, Gahan Wilson’s The Kid is an edgy, irreverent and primetime exploration of childhood. From know-it-all parents to annoying teachers and peer pressuring friends, this animated Showtime special offers a flashback to those times when being a kid was a real drag. As the star of the show says: “They ought to pass a law that you’re not allowed to go though childhood until you’re a fully grown adult.”
