| We know better than any other generation how important energy is to our survival, be it renewable or not. But for the inhabitants of the world in Aachi & Ssipak, the solution is already there for everyone to see... and smell. Feces! Yes, that brown, stinky thing. The government controls the populace through special ID chips every citizen is forced to keep, and for every defecation they get a special popsicle, which in turns makes them even more addicted. But our heroes, Aachi & Ssipak, just want to have fun and get the popsicles without doing, ahem, the hard work. So they cause a ruckus, get the cyborg police on their trail, meet a strangely appealing woman with the most annoying of voices, and stir up more and more trouble.
Korean animation still continues to struggle at the box office, but if the creativity shown in Jo Beom Jin's Aachi & Ssipak is any indication, that trend might soon end. A labor of love lasting over eight years, the film boasts quirky 2D characters along with state of the art 3D animation, a funky soundtrack, and finally the kind of story adults can have fun with. This is no Disney, folks. Featuring voice talent of the caliber of Ryu Seung Bum, Yim Chang Jung, singer Shin Hae Chul and even Hyun Young, Aachi & Ssipak is one of the most original and entertaining animation films to come out of Korea in years. After watching this, popsicles will certainly feel different!

Audio Commentary with Director Jo Beom Jin and jTEAM Staff

A highly anticipated animated feature from Korea, Aachi & Ssipak is a frantic, dynamic, and very rude action comedy told with great passion and honesty, though it lacks a little clarity and originality in some respects. Very much an experience that demands to be repeated, and some of the nicest animation I can imagine being turned out these days. It blends clever CGI environments with 2D character animation better than any film I've seen to date. I would recommend this one highly to those who loved the trailer.
There's a series of fundamental issues with the storytelling in Aachi & Ssipak. This is either because there's a presumption about our prior knowledge of the characters or because there are simply gaping holes in the explanation of the logic behind the story. Either way, the results are the same: it's not entirely clear what's going on, or what has happened. There were short online episodes in the run-up to the release, and I can see a suggestion of work invo... [Read more]

Picked By Sanwei (See all picks by this editor)
Though most definitely not on the level of My Beautiful Girl Mari and Wonderful Days, Aachi & Ssipak represents a wholly different kind of breakthrough for Korean animation. Comically violent, unabashedly crude, and hilariously profane, this film is not one for the kids. But for those not turned off by some indecent exposure and, literally, toilet humor, Aachi & Ssipak is an incredibly fun ride, easily one of the most entertaining films of 2006. All the people who think that our natural resources will last forever should watch Aachi & Ssipak for a very uncomfortable backup plan.
In the Kool-Aid-colored world of the future, natural resources have run dry and society is sustained by fecal... [read more]
