Follows low life anti-heroes Roy Arnie, Odd, Gaz and Flea, who are uprooted from their mean city streets to work with Ringmaster Stromowski in a touring Russian circus in terminal decline. The star attraction is Jimmy, an elephant kept 'happy' on a cocktail of drugs. But Roy Arnie has a dream that one day he will run his own circus and he tells the boys that the key to his dream is Jimmy. On the opening night a bungled attempt to give Jimmy his 'fix' causes widespread panic. Jimmy escapes and so begins a mad cap cross country road-trip to find Jimmy before he goes cold turkey. Suddenly everyone wants a piece of Jimmy. A deranged bunch of animal activists led by clean living, straight-edged couple are after Jimmy to front their cause. A trigger-happy Scottish hunting party think his head would look great mounted on their wall and the Lappish Mafia--the meanest men in the North--want to 'hit' him for a big payoff. Jimmy's only chance is a benevolent moose who befriends him on the road. Can he help to free Jimmy, release him from his addiction and save him from a million dollar secret?

And we're getting to the worse part. However, Christopher Nielsen had a great idea. He won't be filming any animated film that Hollywood promotes. Nothing childish and kind, but a properly sharpened film that will be vulgar, show us copulation, and even one terrible elephant that should die right at the beginning. Simon Pegg took over the rewriting into English and made the film accessible to the masses. Unfortunately, it's not worth it. The jokes are not good, the situations are bizarre. Kevin Smith may have been able to build a plot about freeing animals from laboratories, but that doesn't apply to "Jimmy". It's all a little green - meaning ecological - and it tries to get us there by talking a lot about... nothing. The rhythm is good, it's a shame the humor is missing. What's worse is the animation. It simply fails. It should present us with caricatures, but the animation quality itself is terrible. I was looking forward to the film, but it's not worth it. One addicted elephant won't save everything, especially when you constantly have the urge to trip up his crooked legs. More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2012/04/prcicky-bruce-lee-par-trapnosti.html
