All Businessmen Go to Hell Announced for Holiday 2020
In a bid to revive the faltering tradition of 2D animated feature films, legendary animator Don Bluth founded Bluth Studios, Again LLC in 2018, hiring away big names from places like Disney, Nickelodeon, and Adult Swim to staff his renaissance. The studio’s first title has been announced and is slated to hit theaters next winter.
All Businessmen Go to Hell is a spiritual successor to Bluth’s popular 1989 children’s film All Dogs Go to Heaven, which starred the lovable mutt Charlie B. Barkin on adventures to and from the afterlife, with the central premise that dogs, being innately good and kind, deserve the fabled eternal happiness of heaven after death.
Bluth, whose films skew towards younger audiences but have always had a darker, more violent tone than other animated ilk, says this new film represents the natural evolution of his style alongside the American consciousness and global affairs. “The ’80s were a different time. The world’s fucked, and now we all know why.”
All Businessmen Go to Hell stars the vocal talents of Willem Dafoe, Rosie O’Donnell for some reason, and Adam Driver in the lead roles, a trio of conspirators who trash the environment and literally burn up the planet.
Calling it now: Earth ends up being the hell. And we all go there.
The movie hits December 20th, 2020.
