How it feels

This adult animated comedy reinvents the American Revolutionary War as a wild parody. George Washington and his allies fight the British using anachronistic technology and reimagined historical figures.

What happens

America: The Motion Picture is a 2021 American adult animated comedy film directed by Matt Thompson (in his feature directorial debut) and written by Dave Callaham, who both also produce. It stars Channing Tatum (also a producer), Jason Mantzoukas, Olivia Munn, Bobby Moynihan, Judy Greer, Will Forte, Raoul Max Trujillo, Killer Mike, Simon Pegg and Andy Samberg. It is an R-rated, animated parody of George Washington and his fight against the British. The film uses anachronism, ahistoricism, and Americentrism to create a comic effect. Dates, the roles of various historical figures, battles, notable inventions and technologies are changed, reinvented or outright created. Prominent events and figures from the American Revolutionary War period and American history through to the 20th century are moved into the film's 1776 setting. Netflix released America: The Motion Picture in streaming on June 30, 2021. It received generally negative reviews from film critics, who criticized it as being unfunny. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
