The animated television series "Aqua Teen Hunger Force," which Adult Swim, Cartoon Network's sister network featuring animation for adults, debuted in September 2001, comes to the big screen when First Look Pictures presents AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE COLON MOVIE FILM FOR THEATERS, opening nationwide on Friday, April 13th. The action-adventure epic reveals the mysterious origins of "ATHF" characters Frylock, Master Shake and Meatwad. Okay, perhaps "action-adventure epic" overstates it a bit.

"ATHF" is among the highest-rated programs on Adult Swim, and is regularly ranked as one of basic cable's most-watched series with young adults. To date, more than 60 episodes of the series have been produced. More than one million "ATHF" DVDs have been sold. A video game based on the show will be released in 2007.

Frylock, Master Shake and Meatwad are human-sized food products who live together in a rental house in New Jersey. Mostly, strange things happen to them. Like the time the school bus of the undead rolled up. Or when that possessed sandwich appeared. Or the time Meatwad bought a depressive, suicidal doll. The rest of the time, they do things like try to figure out ways to make money or hang out in their neighbor Carl's above-ground swimming pool.

In AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE COLON MOVIE FILM FOR THEATERS, when an immortal piece of exercise equipment threatens the balance of galactic peace, it is up to the Aqua Teen Hunger Force to run away from it. Peril escalates when the Plutonians team up with the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past to strive for ultimate control of the sinister deadly device.

First Look Pictures presents AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE COLON MOVIE FILM FOR THEATERS, written, produced and directed by Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis. Reprising their roles in the big screen movie are Maiellaro (Err, Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past); Willis (voice of Carl, Meatwad and Ignignokt); Dana Snyder (Master Shake); Carey Means (Frylock); and Andy Merrill and Mike Schatz (The Plutonians).
