After settling into his grimy apartment, Joe discovers that it is home to a legion of talking and singing cockroaches. Although having so many bugs for roommates has its drawbacks, Joe finds the roaches to be friendly and good-natured, and they aid him in wooing the lovely Lily (Megan Ward), as well as in contending with his mean landlord (Don Ho).

4. Joe's Apartment movie review (1996) - Roger Ebert
The real tenants of the apartment are tens of thousands of cockroaches, who at first dislike Joe but eventually become his friend and gang up on the slumlord.
I am informed that 5,000 cockroaches were used in the filming of “Joe’s Apartment.” That depresses me, but not as much as the news that none of them were

I love musicals, and I love animated movies. I was lucky enough to co-star in both. Problem was I played a roach in a movie about roaches, which meant no one, not even my mother or wife, have ever seen JOE’S APARTMENT. I begged my friend John Payson to cast a real actor in the role of Rodney Roach, but bless his heart he really wanted me to do it.

13. The Cockroaches of Joe's Apartment - Animation World Network
As Ralph, the lead cockroach in John Payson's unconventional feature film, Joe's Apartment has prophesied, after the bomb drops, roaches will rule the world.
Joe's Apartment was inspired by Payson's 1992 short of the same name that aired on MTV. It represents the cable network's first venture into feature films (the second is the to-be-released Beavis and Butt-Head this fall ) and continues a trend of developing material already designed for one medium for all mediums. (Does television programming make for feature film material?) The film was written for the screen and directed by Payson who, at the time of the original short, was MTV's director of on-air promotion and animated I.D.'s. After devoting over a year to writing the script, the film spent another year in production, including shooting the live-action, stop motion and CGI elements. It stars Jerry O'Connell (Sliders) as Joe, Megan Ward (Party of Five) as the love interest, Lily, and Robert Vaughn (The Man From U.N.C.L.E.), the corrupt Senator with a fetish for his daughter's costume jewelry among other things.

Joe's Apartment, directed and written by John Payson and starring Jerry O'Connell, Megan Ward, Don Ho and Robert Vaughn.
By Richard von Busack Someday roaches will inherit the earth. When they do, what will the eight-legged scholars in their universities make of Joe's Apartment, the first movie in which the roaches are more involving than people? Will they have access to the secret letters and treaties proving the film was the work of human fifth columnists? The idea of sentient, wisecracking roaches is not new. In the 1920s, newspaperman don marquis wrote a column for the Baltimore Sun from the point of view of archy, a cockroach who was a reincarnated poet. During the 1960s, both Howard Cruse and Gilbert Shelton created cockroach characters: Cruse's Barefootz had the roaches as friendly advisers; Shelton, responsible for the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, fancied roaches that were military strategists quoting MacArthur and Hitler. Joe's Apartment director John Payson plainly knows his animation and comics, and that's the best thing you can say for him. The nauseating scat humor combines with an even more insulting inability to rally interest in the two-legged characters. Twenty minutes into Joe's Apartment, there's no story, just the aimless wanderings of Joe (Jerry O'Connell), an average Joe arrived from Iowa, who gets his introduction to New York trying to find a place to live. Eventually Joe inherits a dead old lady's apartment, which is full of singing, dancing cockroaches. Joe tries to hold on to a job, but the engaging little bugs follow him everywhere, riding on the pizzas he tries t...
