Ed "Big Daddy" Roth was a Beat-era custom-car designer and graphic artist whose hotrod creations and irreverent cartoon characters (especially his anti-Mickey Mouse, Rat Fink) made him a 1950s and '60s counterculture icon. Director Ron Mann (COMIC BOOK CONFIDENTIAL, GRASS) chronicles Roth's life and work with an appropriately inventive documentary that eschews the talking-head formula in favor of lively, original animation; cool-daddy-o narration by actor John Goodman; a punky soundtrack by garage-rock band the Sadies; and, most innovatively, the vocal talents of Roth fans Ann-Margret, Jay Leno, Brian Wilson, Tom Wolfe, Matt Groening, Robert Williams, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Paul Le Mat, and the Smothers Brothers, who all provide voices for Roth's actual car creations.
