A Town Called Panic (French: Panique au village) is a 2009 internationally co-produced stop-motion animated adventure fantasy comedy family film, starring Stéphane Aubier, Jeanne Balibar, Nicolas Buysse, François De Brigode, Véronique Dumont, Bruce Ellison, Christine Grulois, Frédéric Jannin, Bouli Lanners, Christelle Mahy, Éric Muller, François Neyken, Vincent Patar, Pipou, Franco Piscopo, Benoît Poelvoorde, David Ricci, Ben Tesseur and Alexandre von Sivers, co-produced in Belgium, Luxembourg and France, produced by Adriana Piasek-Wanski, Philippe Kauffmann, Xavier Diskeuve, Stéphan Roelants, Arlette Zylberberg and Vincent Tavier and distributed by Gébéka Films. It was written and directed by Stéphane Aubier and Vincent Patar and is based on the TV series of the same name.
It premiered at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival and was the first stop-motion film to be screened at the festival. The film was released theatrically on October 28, 2009 by Gébéka Films and Zeitgeist Films. The film received generally positive reviews with the film-critics.
Three plastic toys named Cowboy, Indian and Horse share a house in a rural town. Cowboy and Indian plan to surprise Horse with a homemade barbecue for his birthday. However, they accidentally order 50 million bricks instead of the 50 they actually require. This sets off a chain of events as the trio travel to the center of the earth, trek across frozen tundra and discover a parallel underwater universe of pointy-headed (and dishonest) creatures.
The film was made over the course of 260 days in a studio on the outskirts of Brussels. 1500 plastic toy figures were used during filming.
