Shakes plods about his duties as party clown, and uses all of his free time getting seriously drunk. Binky, another clown, wins the spot on a local kiddie show, which depresses Shakes even more, and his boss threatens him with unemployment if he can't get his act under control.
Written and directed by Andrew Adamson ("Shrek," "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe"), and executive produced by Academy Award-winning filmmaker James Cameron, the 3D film event features artistic and acrobatic performances from some of the most elaborate Cirque du Soleil productions.
