LA WeeklyRobert Abele
Its mix of twisted laughs and surrealist visuals smacks of something you’d see between Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Harvey Birdman on the Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim hours.

The show's overall effect falls somewhere between dystopic science fiction and the cheerfully sicko sensibility of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim lineup. But unlike, say, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, I Am Not an Animal styles itself as social satire.

Connoisseurs of animation and British comedy will delight in the warped innovations of "Animal," but to those with humbler tastes and less patience the series will induce more yawns than howls.

I LOOOOVE THIS SHOW !!!!!
George H. gave it a7:
Confusing and muddled narrative but somewhere in the mix there might be an actually entertaining show. Interesting characters will make me come back for more viewings.
bob c gave it a9:
Surreal animation and dark humor. Will appeal to many of the viewers in its time-slot, especially on Sundance. Photo-montage and traditional drawing make for amazing characters, but the abstractness may scare the kids if they are up late. Very Enjoyable.
