Joe's Apartment is a comedy film released in 1996 that follows the life of Joe, a recent graduate who moves to New York City to start his career. However, he soon finds that his living situation is less than ideal - he must share his apartment with a colony of singing, dancing cockroaches that have taken over his rundown building. Despite his initial disgust, Joe eventually befriends the charismatic insects and even falls in love with one of them named Lily.
As Joe tries to adjust to his new living situation, the cockroaches become his unlikely allies and help him navigate the challenges of city life. However, a greedy exterminator named Walter Shmayne soon threatens to destroy their home and the bond they have formed with Joe. The film culminates in an epic battle between the cockroaches and Shmayne, with Joe and his new friends fighting to defend their home.
Throughout the film, viewers are treated to a series of musical numbers featuring the cockroaches as they sing and dance to parody songs like "Funky Towel" and "The Roach Motel". The film was made using a combination of live-action and puppetry, with the cockroaches brought to life by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. Despite its unconventional premise, Joe's Apartment has become a cult classic and remains a beloved film for those who grew up in the 90s.
