PANIQUE AU VILLAGE, ÉPISODE 5 : LISE ET JAN

Two musical lowlifes arrive in the village, and they turn the place upside down, much to the displeasure of its inhabitants, who consequently show them to the door; however to no avail. Following the cartoon series of ‘Picpic le cochon magik et André le mauvais cheval’ (‘Picpic the magic pig and André the bad horse’), Stéphane Aubier and Vincent Patar have created this animated series based on plastic figures. Cowboy and Indian, two inseparable characters that entertain a ‘hostile brotherly’ type relationship, play the main roles. They are jealous of each other, and constantly argue about everything. Like all brothers, their conniving attitude fully comes out when faced with adversity or silly pranks. They both live with The Horse, a rare moral character in the Panics universe. One may think of The Horse as a surrogate father (or is it mother?) figure to Cowboy and Indian. This moralizing attitude strongly irritates all those living on the farm.
