The Pope plays hide-and-seek all day, the cardinals are corrupt, and in the catacombs slave laborers are smashing host wafers flat. Only good Father Nicholas is keeping the theocratic state from succumbing to utter chaos. Benedict XVI will hardly approve of POPETOWN, but fans of SOUTH PARK will surely relish it. The anarchic humor of the British-French animation series defies all taboos. Facing the gridlock of reforms in the Catholic Church, POPETOWN also blazes the trail in both the emancipation of women in the church and in the recognition of other faiths, for Jewish actress and author Ruby Wax is voice acting as the Pope.
