Disco Worms

Don’t let the title stop you from checking out this silly and surreal animated tale, even if you hate disco music and have a crippling case of scoleciphobia (fear of worms). It’s the story of a young worm named Barry who dreams of a bigger life than following in his father’s footsteps at the composting heap. He finds a disco album in a box of memorabilia and discovers that worms can be funky, too. All he needs to do is convince his family and friends that you don’t need arms or legs to dance to the beat. The story is pretty predictable, but watching the worms in action is weirdly hypnotic. Jane Lynch (Glee) as the voice of a budding disco diva is perfect.
