Infos

Phil Mulloy is the punk bluesman of animation. His films are raw, minimalist, and ferociously satirical-short bursts of crude brilliance that confront the hypocrisies of religion, nationalism, masculinity, and class with uncompromising rage. If Disney represents the heart of animation, then Mulloy is its bowels-unafraid to reveal the grotesque underbelly of human nature.With thick black lines, stick figures, and penis nosed characters, Mulloy's deceptively primitive style delivers scathing critiques of modern society. He broke onto the scene in the 1990s with the blistering Cowboys series, followed by subversive classics like The Sound of Music and The Ten Commandments. In the 2000s, he pushed further with the sci fi influenced trilogy Intolerance and the deeply polarizing, yet groundbreaking, feature and short series The Christies.This book traces Mulloy's singular career-his shocking early shorts, experimental features, and recent return with potent works like Endgame and Once Upon a Time on Earth. Part biography, part critical reflection, and part personal journey, Raw Outrage explores how Mulloy's work remains urgent in an age where animation often plays it safe.Award winning writer Chris Robinson guides readers through Mulloy's world with his usual passion, insight, and irreverent humor. What emerges is a portrait of an artist who refuses to be polite-whose films challenge, provoke, and endure.
