Dodger (Mackenzie Astin) finds himself in Captain Manzini’s (Anthony Newley) antique shop, seeking refuge from a group of bullies. Manzini, a friend and protector of Dodger, provides him a safe haven while warning Dodger not to touch a grimy-looking garbage can crusted with slime. When the bullies find Dodger, a fight breaks out, and the garbage can topples over, releasing a bevy of pint-sized, grotesque aliens known as the Garbage Pail Kids®. The kids – Ali Gator, Nat Nerd, Greaser Greg, Foul Phil, Messy Tessie, and Valerie Vomit – befriend Dodger and help him get revenge against his bullies, defying the laws of good taste in the process!
 
Based on the popular Topps trading cards, THE GARBAGE PAIL KIDS® MOVIE captures the irreverence and gross-out humor of its source, mixing obnoxious gags with painstakingly disgusting make-up effects courtesy of John Carl Buechler (Re-Animator, Tammy and the T-Rex). Vinegar Syndrome Ultra is proud to present the world UHD premiere of one of the grossest movies ever made for children, from a new 4K scan of its original 35mm camera negative, giving every ounce of fluid and every wrinkle of latex the resolution it has always deserved.
