Comfort Films 43: The Bob's Burgers Movie

Comfort Films 43: The Bob's Burgers Movie

At Comfort Films HQ, we choose a lot of our picks based on nostalgia, but every so often a new movie comes along that instantly makes a mark on us as a future comfort film.  For our penultimate summer selection, we chose a movie that has only been around since May of this year, but we've already marked it a classic for us--The Bob's Burgers Movie.  Bob's Burgers is Georgia's number one favorite show, and much to her relief, the movie takes everything that is great about the show and builds on it.  We watched a lot of special features to bring you background info on the development of the story for the film, the animation, and the music, and we geek out big-time on all our favorite characters and themes.  Put away your erotic friend fiction, throw on your bunny ears, grab a burger of the day, and join us for The Bob's Burgers Movie!
