Name: 'Team America': An Introduction
Genre: Documentary, Short, Comedy
Released: 2005-05-17
Duration: 5 min
Rating: 6.1
Cast: Trey Parker, Matt Stone

This is an ultra-short(it's only five minutes) featurette, one of seven, on the DVD of Team America: World Police, obviously about that film. It goes into the concept behind it, and reveals some about South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, and the initial thought they had on what to do with the puppets, provided that wasn't a joke. Yes, all that in roughly the time it takes a microwave oven to cook you dinner. The pacing is quite adequate. It's concise without being curt, though it is, of course, limited how much detail you can put in it, being no longer than it is. This consists entirely of Matt and Trey talking, from at least two separate locations, intercut with clips of the two movies. They have fun stuff to say, and at least one rant is heard. There is a little language, and it is relatively strong, albeit considering the duo of speakers, it's enormously underwhelming. I recommend this to anyone who liked TA, and/or want to know more about it, and I could imagine this also appeals to those who have rather little time in their day. 6/10
