The Ren & Stimpy Show


This is a show made in the 90s by Nickelodeon Studios. It's about a dog and a cat that go on a lot of surreal adventures. It's very inconsistent, in terms of setting/location, which adds to the surreal aspect of the series. Of course, the characters themselves don't change at all, each story is just another bizarre journey that comes and goes. It can be disturbing at times, really disturbing. Ren is notorious for having a psychotic breakdown whenever he gets left alone or when Stimpy does something incredibly dumb. The aspect that always amazes me is how well animated the exaggerated movements and emotions are, pretty much every frame is a unique drawing of the characters. Ren's face would literally grow three times its size when he pulls one of his signature psycho grins.
