A Town Called Panic (2009)

In the whimsically tranquil enclave known as Panic, life is anything but ordinary, especially for its quirky inhabitants - a stoic Horse, a reckless Cowboy, and an impulsive Indian. As Horse's birthday looms, his well-meaning but bumbling room-mates, Cowboy and Indian, hatch a plan. Their grand idea: to construct a spectacular BBQ pit as a gift, an endeavor that promises to be as extraordinary as their friendship. But their seemingly simple plan tumbles into chaos as an epic blunder in the brick order spirals catastrophically out of control, leading to the demolition of not only Horse's abode but also his blossoming romantic liaison with the fiery redhead piano teacher, Madame Longrée. Panic's serenity is shattered, and it falls on our unlikely trio to clean up their mess and restore harmony. Thrust into a whirlwind of adventure that is as surreal as it is hilarious, they journey from their green village to the icy desolation of the Tundra. They plunge into the core of the Earth, where molten magma bubbles, and then dive into the perilous depths of an underwater universe, teeming with pointy-headed and devious aquatic beings. Amid this constant state of pandemonium, Horse, Cowboy, and Indian must navigate their way through these thrilling escapades. Will their indomitable spirit prevail, their friendship endure, and will Horse ever find a moment of peace with his beloved? In a town where panic is as permanent as the papier-mâché surroundings, anything is possible.
