Meet the Feebles (1989)

"An undeniable sick delight... you're not likely to see another movie like this ever again." EMPIRE

"It's rude, it's lewd, it's set to be a huge cult hit... the wildest puppet film yet." DAILY SPORT

After the success of Bad Taste, Peter Jackson, together with Frances Walsh and Stephen Sinclair wrote a script for a film called 'Meet the Feebles'. This film is best described as 'The Muppets on Drugs'. Made in 1989, the film was budgeted with money made from Bad Taste, and from the New Zealand Film Commission. It took only twelve weeks to make. Unfortuantly filming wasn't going smoothly. The team were getting behind schedule which meant that they couldn't reach the deadline set. So when the NZFC asked to submit the film, they submitted what they had done and secretly broke into the studio at night and finished off making the movie, submitting what they had done under another name: 'Frogs of War'.
