Baby Snakes is a fantastic film, thoroughly engaging throughout its nearly 3 hour running time. If you are a Zappa fan (like me), you'll love this film more than non Zappa fans will. Even if you don't like Frank that much but love rock music, you should still see this film. It's one of the best (and most underappreciated) rock docs ever made. It's also interesting as Zappa co-produced, directed, co-edited, and even distributed it himself. It's filled with great performances (Zappa's late 70's band was one of his most creative), hilarious back stage stuff, and brilliant, surreal animation by Bruce Bickford. If you love Frank and his music, you owe it to yourself to watch this film. It's easy to find on DVD.
