Beavis and Butt-Head Do America ** (1996, director Mike Judge) – Classic Movie Review 11,687

MTV’s television cartoon series hits the big screen in director Mike Judge’s 1996 American adult animated comedy film Beavis and Butt-Head Do America, a very much to (bad) taste comedy, directed firmly at the fans.

Funnily enough, actually Beavis and Butt-Head cross America in an attempt to score, after someone pinches their TV and they try to find it, but then unwittingly become fugitives wanted by the FBI and the ATF.

Voices are by Mike Judge as Beavis, Butt-Head, Tom Anderson, Van Driessen and Principal McVicker, with guest performances by Demi Moore, Bruce Willis, Robert Stack, Cloris Leachman, Eric Bogosian and Richard Linklater.

It is based on the MTV animated television series Beavis and Butt-Head and co-written by series creator Mike Judge and Joe Stillman.

John Frizzell composes the score.

There were enough fans and it was a hit. It premiered at the Mann’s Chinese Theater on 15 December 1996, and it was released in the US on 20 December 1996 by Paramount Pictures, grossing $63.1 million in the US on a $12 million budget.

In February 2021, a sequel was announced for Paramount+.
