Review: Da’Vine Joy Randolph, John C. Reilly, Kristen Bell and Tom Waits are just some of the stars who lend their voices to 'Ultra City Smiths,' AMC’s new noir-themed, stop-motion animation series
The stop-motion animated series “Ultra City Smiths” isn’t without a certain weird charm, though it is one that defies conventional reasoning. The series is an homage to film noir, a film movement, or moment, that wasn’t just about hard lighting and hair triggers, but flawed people—tormented heroes, compromised women, characters who really hadn’t held the screen before.
The living dolls of “Ultra City Smiths”—the title will be explained toward the end of episode 2—include David Mills , the rookie detective and new partner of leathery veteran Gail Johnson . Together, they are investigating the mysterious disappearance of mayoral candidate and rich guy Carpenter K. Smith .
Lady Andrea the Giant is the former women’s world wrestling champion and has to find a way to save her daughter, Little Grace , from the gangsters with whom she’s fallen afoul. They include Rodrigo Smalls , local crime lord and owner of the disco where Carpenter Smith’s son, Donovan , dances as the self-proclaimed King of the Night. Sister Mary Margaret is the foul-mouthed nun who runs the local flophouse. The good sister offers Street Hustler Boy a bunk when things get tight.
