Eric Paperth and Tyler March Want You to Know it “Sucks To Be The Moon”

After a glory-filled rampage thru the festival circuit, Tiny Little Cartoons (aka Eric Paperth and Tyler March) let loose their interplanetary musical comedy about the moon’s quest for a celestial body that appreciates him on adult swim SMALLS.

With Oscar nominee Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once) providing the voice of the Sun and driven by music and lyrics from Rob Tanchum (that may remind you of everything from Lil Dicky to Broadway and Randy Newman), the film is a fabulous exercise in pushing the feeling of being unwanted to illogical extremes for the moral good (don’t do drugs, revenge is bad) while never taking itself seriously.
