Canadian libraries must stock it, the DVD should be reissued, Mar 15 2006

This film is a Canadian cultural treasure, whether we know it or not. This man is essentially our answer to Walt Disney and an experimental animator as well. Even live action films like 'Pas De Deux' are astoundingly complex while appearing to be so simple. It is a life changing short for many people! This DVD should be stocked by all Canadian libraries as it's a fantastic part of our cultural history. Unfortunately, it seems to have already gone out of print! Hopefully this will change!

The 1st disc contains bios for Norman McLaren,

Lexx is well worth watching!, Nov 21 2005

The Weakest Episodes of Lexx..., Nov 21 2005

This was probably the low point of the series, although there's a few great comedic bits in these few episodes. (the boy who tricks and then shoots a security guard, the family in their car, Buttons the cat, and a very suprising JFK assassination recreation)

I found that there was nothing much to say when they had landed on earth and very little that related to or furthered the concept of Lexx. I couldn't care less about the characters of the President and 'bunny'. There was too much self-referential irony watching the supporting actors return in lame ways.
