Monty Python alumnus Terry Jones is among those featured in the 3-D animated film "A Liar's Autobiography: The Untrue Story of Monty Python's Graham Chapman." Jones was on hand for the film's premiere at the 2012 Toronto Film Festival. Jones thinks Chapman would have loved the cryptic mishmash of observations, self-analysis, bizarre asides, flights of fancy and revisionist personal history that make up the film.

The film doesn't reveal much that Python fans don't already know about the facts of his life.
