An inventively animated first-person narration about a troubled friendship, it includes violence, language, sex, and drug use, and is not appropriate for children. We’ll have a Parental Guidance warning prior to this short, so that parents and caregivers can usher children out of the theater if they’d like. Other than PEAR CIDER AND CIGARETTES, the program is acceptable for kids.
