"Uncle Sam" is running a gas station in the middle of nowhere amidst his patriotically sculptured cacti and with his bald eagle for company. Then a mysterious car shows up and he is kidnapped! Perplexed and alone, the bird sets off to investigate - on foot for some reason, whilst we are whisked to a dastardly scenario for "Uncle" as he has been strapped to a barrel of TNT by some ruthless folks bent on stealing a distinctly curvaceous and operatic version of the Statue of Liberty. Can the eagle arrive, set his fellow icon free and then thwart the evil scheme? The animation is drab and not my favourite, and the pace is sluggishly accompanied by a confused soundtrack that complements a story that seems to want to take a ping at pretty much all things American - even to the point of mutually assured self destruction, before a denouement of epically bland proportions in ancient Rome! The socio-political message is clear but it's unoriginal and reminiscent of a 1920s cartoon that I'd no need to recall.
