SOUTH PARK's Parker and Stone animate philosopher Alan Watts
Wednesday, July 22, 2009
Matt Parker and Trey Stone, the creators of South Park and Team America: World Police, take great delight in shocking their audiences. But a few years ago, they took on a project that was shocking in a very different way. Alan Watts Theater was a series of six short films in which Parker and Stone animated the lectures of British philosopher Alan Watts. While the films are often humorous, the humor is in the service of presenting Watts' ideas, not mocking them. Not exactly what you'd expect from the creators of Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poo.
