Zebraman (2004)

Oh, okay, maybe this isn't a fricking brilliant movie, but it is funny (sometimes howlingly so), sweet, clever, and silly, with a spicy touch or two of the surreal, the grotesque, and the postmodern. It's an uplifting kid's movie with many knowing winks to the adults in the crowd, and it even has something interesting to say about heroism.
