Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters (aka Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters for DVD for the DVD release, Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters Television for the April Fools Day television premiere, or simply Colon, and abbreviated as ATHFCMFFT or ATHF:MFFT) is an animated film based on the Adult Swim animated series Aqua Teen Hunger Force. The film is written and directed by the show's creators, Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis, and was released on April 13, 2007 by First Look Pictures. The film's poster was illustrated by Julie Bell and Boris Vallejo, and parodies the "King of the Mountain" design.
The film has been rated R by the MPAA for "crude and sexual humor, violent images and language". It is set to be shown on March 30th on Adult Swim.
In January 2007, Cartoon Network launched a guerrilla marketing campaign to promote this film. Dozens of electronic devices with blinking lights were surreptitiously posted in various locations in major US cities. When lit, an image of a Mooninite extending his middle finger appeared. On January 31, several reports of suspicious devices were received by Boston police. Bomb squads and emergency personnel were deployed to the locations causing a major security scare in Boston. The two men who installed the devices around Boston were arrested and charged with felony counts of placing a hoax device to incite panic. Turner Broadcasting, Cartoon Network's parent company and Interference, Inc., the marketing company that created the campaign, reached a settlement with city and state officials to resolve any civil or criminal claims. The companies agreed to pay $1 million dollars to the Boston police department, and $1 million to fund homeland security. Jim Samples, the head of Cartoon Network, resigned his position as a result.
Cartoon Network advertised that they would be premiering the film on their Adult Swim block on April 1, 2007. Though most media outlets speculated that it was an April Fools joke, the film was run in its entirety during the Adult Swim block... in a small block smaller than the normal network logo in the lower left hand corner of the screen.
Film debut of Rush drummer Neil Peart.
SPOILER: When the Insan-o-flex destroys the rooftop of the Aqua Teen's house, for a moment, the character Willie Nelson from the episode "The Shaving" is seen on the left hand side of the screen.
SPOILER: When Frylock dials the number from the Insanoflex website, as the camera pans through the clouds to the Plutonian ship, if slowed down you can see Balloonenstein from "Balloonenstein" on the right-hand side of the screen.
During the Insanoflex's work-out video, as the fat-man runs from the lasers, Dirtfoot is seen blending in, in front of a tree.
The people riding the Steel Python as Meatwad explains his plan are animated versions of the cast in crew and the CIA agents from the intro.
During the siege of the Insanoflex descendants, a small Rabbot is seen to the left dancing.
After the Aqua Teens go up the mountain side a second time, when Dr. Weird's castle (now lofts) is shown in its entirety, Romulox is seen on the right.
In Dr. Weird's loft, many homages to the original series exist, including patches in the wall from the Rabbot's escape, Dr. Weird's guitar, a picture of Dr. Weird with his roommate Randall, and a piece of the Rainbow-Maker.
In the bedroom with Linda, a picture is hanging over the bed of Steve busting out of Dr. Weird's chest from the series.
When Meatwad turns into the office building, Billywitchdoctor.com can be seen at the entrance to the Steel Python.
