We couldn't help but love these morons despite their lack of social graces, laughing at (and with) their antics, in spite of ourselves. The reason it proved successful (at least to its target audience, of course) was the same reason for the show's success: it used a simple formula for comedy and, yes, even wore its heart on its sleeve. Surprisingly, one of the few animated films to please its fanbase was Mike Judge's Beavis and Butt-Head Do America (1997), a road trip adventure starring everyone's favorite socially challenged misfits. Whether it's a case of bad timing, story padding or the decision to go live-action-an especially awkward move, in most cases-they usually just don't work. Animated shows and comics have suffered though an uneven history when it comes to big-screen transitions, whether we're dealing with the excellent South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, the awful live-action Garfield and Scooby-Doo films or the uneven but underrated Peanuts theatrical features.
