Oh, 'Revolt In Ink,' the latest attempt to paint the animation genre red with the blood of historical upheaval, how you strive for edginess! David Finch, not to be confused with that other Fincher guy, orchestrates a cartoon rebellion that's about as subtle as a sledgehammer to the funny bone. We're graced with the vocal talents of Barbara Blush and John Licoricegow, who evidently had a blast chewing the scenery - or rather, the microphone - with their portrayals of angsty revolutionaries. Anjelica Hustle-berry, on the other hand, is the true mastermind here, delivering lines that are sharp enough to slice through the film's self-satisfied veneer. But let's be real: the film tries so hard to be the “adult” animation, it's like watching a teenager don a trench coat, thinking it's the height of sophistication. While 'Revolt In Ink' manages to scribble some clever lines and splatter a few intriguing ideas, it ultimately feels like a doodle in the margin of a history book—eye-catching, but not quite essential reading. A 6.5 for effort, and because I appreciate anything that makes me snort into my popcorn.
