Charley Chucklehead (who is a live person) is out trying to catch the Metal Eating Bird. So, he takes his worm and dips it in metal paint--hoping to get its attention. In fact, the worm helps because he talks to the bird and tries to convince him to eat him! Talk about weird! As for the Metal Bird, it looks an awful lot like a Dr. Seuss creation. Watching this bird and the worm move and interact through the miracle of stop-motion is pretty entertaining and very odd to say the least. What makes it weirder are the unusual voice talents they used in the film. Plus, seeing the bird eating fenders, wheels and everything in sight is pretty entertaining. But the highlight really is when the bird lays an egg. It's really beyond description it's so weird, so see it yourself to know what I mean.
Overall, it's a truly weird but very entertaining film. And, I assume this is what life must look like if you use lots and lots of drugs!!
