His films are raw, minimalist, and ferociously satiricalshort bursts of crude brilliance that confront the hypocrisies of religion, nationalism, masculinity, and class with uncompromising rage. If Disney represents the heart of animation, then Mulloy is its bowelsunafraid to reveal the grotesque underbelly of human nature.

With thick black lines, stick figures, and penisnosed characters, Mulloys deceptively primitive style delivers scathing critiques of modern society.
