A drug-addled elephant is on the run in this dark computer-animated comedy that is decidedly not for children. Jimmy is a performing elephant who travels with a third-rate Russian circus run by ringmaster Stromowski (voiced by Jim Broadbent). Jimmy's minder is a sleazy American expat, Roy Arnie (Woody Harrelson), who keeps the nervous beast pacified with regular doses of heroin (keeping a hidden stash of the drug under Jimmy's skin). But Roy's decided he wants out of circus life and plans to sell the dope and go his own way. However, in order to do that he has to put Jimmy out of his misery, and he recruits three stoner buddies -- Odd (Simon Pegg), Gaz (Phil Daniels) and Flea (Jim Simpson) -- to help whack the elephant.
Roy is also in debt to some gangsters who happen to know that he's hidden the drugs in the elephant, and they're aiming to grab Jimmy before Roy and his pals can. As it happens, they're both beaten to the punch by a group of dim-witted animal rights activists led by Marius (Kyle MacLachlan), who liberate Jimmy and the other circus animals, not realising they've just sent a junkie pachyderm into the wilds as it's going cold turkey, with only a friendly moose for help. FREE JIMMY is a Norway/UK production which also features the voice talents of Samantha Morton, Emilla Fox and Lisa Maxwell.
