Wave Twisters is an eye-popping, hip-hop meets Hanna Barbera, animated adventure synched skratch for skratch with DJ Qbert's turntable masterpiece of the same name. Each track of QBert's original album was designed to provide the audio framework for another chapter in this sci-fi/kung-fu epic, every aspect of the story - music, sound effects - even dialogue - has been seamlessly integrated into QBert's original musical compositions. Wave Twisters gives visual expression to QBert's Narrative while pioneering the concept of visual skratching; sampling from a wide variety of techniques (From traditional cell animation to 3D to live action to photo collage). Wave Twisters defines a unique visual style analogous to the supercharged cutting and skratching of a turntable DJ. Wave Twisters catapults the bar on the correspondence between sound and image, taking the Fantasia concept to the next, dizzying level. The hero of Wave Twisters is the Inner Space Dental Commander, a cross between Luke Skywalker, David Carradine, and the family dentist, who must fulfill his destiny by reviving the "Lost Arts" (i.e., the four pillars of hip-hop culture: breakdancing, rapping, graffiti, and most importantly, skratching). To do so, he and his posse (the mischievous medical droid, Rubbish, his lovely assistant and comrade-at-arms, Honey, and B-Boy Grandpa, the last surviving link to a bygone era when the Arts flourished) battle their way through an increasingly surreal collection of villains, pitfalls, and booby-traps. Among the villains are an elite corps of turntable warriors, played by key members of the Invisibl Skratch Piklz - QBert, Yogafrog, and DJ Flare. Their electrifying performance blaze a path of destruction which stands between the Dental Commander and his final showdown with Lord Oak, the evil mastermind behind the plot to suppress and control the Lost Arts throughout "inner space".
