The life and times of famed hot rod & custom car designer Ed "Big Daddy" Roth.
Leave your thoughts about Tales of the Rat Fink.
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxA nonstop cavalcade of Roth-style animation starring Rat Fink, vintage footage, artfully animated black-and-white film, and fanciful "interviews" with beautifully preserved cars of the era. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenTales of the Rat Fink is an ebullient survey of Roth's life that revs along with the zest a souped-up hot rod. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerThe colorful cultural history lesson in an idiosyncratic key is entertaining and informative, if a little indulgent in its adoration of Roth and his counter-car culture. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jennie PunterMann (Comic Book Confidential) plays with archive, animation and music (hot soundtrack by the Sadies), illuminating another worthy counter-culture corner. Pure fun, fun, fun. |
| Portland OregonianMarc MohanIn addition to a vast array of incredible autos crafted from fiberglass, Roth also created the anti-Mickey cartoon character Rat Fink, a deranged-looking, filthy rodent. |
| Los Angeles TimesMark OlsenA breezy and lightweight primer, but to really make Roth's work and influence into more than just a nostalgia trip would require a discipline and wit seemingly beyond Mann's easygoing, feel-good survey. |
| L.A. WeeklyScott FoundasThese hunks of greased lightning tell how a gearhead SoCal teen got wind of the post-World War II hot-rodding craze, crossed paths with a pinstriper named von Dutch and ended up as the automotive visionary whom Tom Wolfe famously called “a genius of the only uniquely American art form.” |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumSome of Roth's cars become characters, their voices furnished by Ann-Margret, Jay Leno, Brian Wilson, Matt Groening, Tom Wolfe, and others. The pace never flags, and the enthusiasm is infectious. |
| Film ScoutsJason GorberBubble cars and air-brushed flames abound...Interesting and accessible. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisDepending on your age, sex and mechanical inclinations, Tales of the Rat Fink will convince you that Mr. Roth should either have been canonized or smothered at birth. |
