About

You’ll like this if you enjoy weird animated adventures with Western flavor, dry humor, and a slightly darker edge; Not for you if you want simple, gentle kid-friendly fun.

Pros: wildly creative visuals; sharp offbeat humor; memorable desert world | Cons: occasional slow pacing; some confusing moments; darker for young kids
