It's animation with an attitude, based on a standup routine. I've always had a bit of a soft spot for this film; it certainly isn't perfect and it's rather dated, but it has its moments and I think it's worth a watch more now than ever. It also marked an important move for animation finding a more mature audience, as the film was rated PG-13 in its original theatrical release and on this tape.
This upload also features the short film "Itsy Bitsy Spider", created by Hyperion to accompany the film on it's theatrical release. It's a fun little short that even spawned a TV series a few years later and has some great humor.
Despite being a 1997 reprint judging by the tape label, this tape retains the previews from it's original printing.
