Synopsis

Headcases was an ITV satirical animation show based on current affairs. It employed the same satirical style as Spitting Image, 2DTV and Bo' Selecta! but using 3D animation created by UK Visual Effects and animation house Red Vision. Red Vision evolved a series of unique production techniques and a sophisticated animation pipeline to deliver the weekly topical elements of the series to hitherto impossible deadlines. The programme's first series began on 6 April 2008, with weekly episodes until 11 May 2008, airing on Sundays at 10 pm. A seventh episode was televised on Friday, 30 May at 10:30 pm, and an eighth at 10 pm on Sunday, 15 June. The show included celebrities, politicians and members of the British Royal Family in their animated form, taking a role in sketches including scenarios from their own topical issues. The show's name comes from the fact that all the subjects' caricatured faces are out of scale with the rest of their bodies.

Clevercell Very disappointing...
TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
foylepher "Headcases" is a new British television show that is more British humor than anything. The animation is just brilliant, the voice action is mediocre and finally the writing....is terrible. With sketches like Modonna is really a man with a very deep voice does not need very much brain work to write. I watched one episode and didn't want to watch anymore, if i was to watch it again i would not like it. Some of the characters have great features and some are a little over the edge with that persons unnatural features. This is one of those show that will be loves by few and hated but lots. I will give this a 5/10 only for the animation.
furrymustards That is NOT Rowan Atkinson, it's George Osbourne you dummy! Definitely for adults only. Who are these people that don't "get it"??? Kids!!?? This show is a gem. Right from the start I knew that "At Last"!! a semi-mainstream TV show that kicks celebs & politicians right in the nuts. The voice-overs are terrific with Jon Culshaw, Omid Djalili giving their all, and the Beckhams is worthy of it's own show!! I have still to meet anyone who dislikes the show, or thinks that it is of poor quality. Some of the political jokes I don't agree with, and I'm sure Al Fayeds' Conspiracies will never cover 9/11 (wink!) but on the whole I think it's a refreshing and long overdue return to Sunday night satire on British TV.It's all Prans Fallaps fault!!!
Natter45 I just saw the first episode of head-cases on Youtube and i must say it is okay but not that funny, but hey come great cgi work and they did excellent on it, but the more you watch it just gets stale when i saw the Madonna part i was so turned away from it, who the hell made the idea of Madonna being a guy, but hey i'm not putting it down but DeadRingers has more comedy than this show, and also classic comedies, even Harry Hill's TV burp is better, all i'm saying is that other shows can rack more viewers then this show, but there is one thing about the show WHY IS ROWAN ATKINSON A TORRIE!!!!!!but its was okay but not really funny as any thing else.
actormichaelo This programme is one of the funniest animation programmes ever to hit British telly. The Posh & Becks, Heather Mills as the angry advice columnist and Dame Judi Dench & Dame Helen Mirren & Kate Winslet are by far the best. The show is cleverly written and superbly animated. Better than that ''Rock Rivals'' rubbish they are showing at the moment! It's funny, brilliant and clever everything you can hope for in a programme. ITV need this programme after the baby swap storyline on ''Coronation Street'' dragged on so much they started to loose viewers. Same for Rock Rivals, looses viewers.Headcases, simply great!
