The film was a critical and commercial success, grossing $63.1 million in the United States and becoming the largest December box office opening of all time until it was surpassed the following year by Scream 2. John Frizzell composed the film's score.īeavis and Butt-Head Do America premiered at Mann's Chinese Theater on December 15, 1996, and was released in the United States on Decemby Paramount Pictures. As production began, the series' staff halted production while Judge wrote the screenplay with Joe Stillman. Previous offers by MTV to adapt Beavis and Butt-Head to film were rejected by Judge, before he eventually agreed to the film in 1994. The film follows Beavis and Butt-Head, two teen delinquents who travel the US and unknowingly become fugitives. The film was co-written and directed by series creator Mike Judge, who reprises his roles from the series Demi Moore, Bruce Willis, Robert Stack, and Cloris Leachman star in supporting roles.
As in the first movie, they’re on a quest to lose their virginities (or, in the parlance of their times, to “score”), which, as before, various government officials mistake for something far more nefarious.Beavis and Butt-Head Do America is a 1996 American adult animated comedy road film based on the MTV animated television series Beavis and Butt-Head. Eventually, this leads to them getting sucked into a black hole, and popping out in 2022.
The movie picks up in 1998, shortly after their show’s 1997 end: When Beavis and Butt-Head (both voiced, as ever, by creator Mike Judge) are sent to space camp in an attempt to rehabilitate their general delinquency, they are improbably recruited for a real mission.
Like a lot of the classic Beavis shorts, it’s all predicated on a misunderstanding - a steadfast and mistaken belief that these two eternally snickering, muttering, horny teenage boys must be concealing hidden depths. In between the sci-fi embellishments, the movie has set pieces in such exotic, far-flung locales as a porta-potty and a motel room. Like The Simpsons in its fifth season, it does indeed send its dull-witted protagonists into space - and, unlike The Simpsons (as far as I know I’m not current on the last few seasons), it also gives them multi-versal doppelgangers, smarter versions of the boys who urge them to do their part to save the universe.
