UK-based studio Plentitude Productions has shared a first-look promotional video for its upcoming animated film
Binbag that is sure to excite fans of the legendary Tim Burton. Slated to go into production by the end of this year,
Bingbag is said to blend "Burtonesque visuals" with "comic book stylizing" and a sci-fi plot that sends four school kids on an intergalactic adventure.
The upcoming animated film follows four school kids; skateboarder Cep, conspiracy theorist Dodge, physics genius Hed, and the fashionable Tamiko. They are joined by Floyd, the janitor at the tower block where they all live, and an alien known as Monster. Suspecting the world is in danger of being invaded by aliens, Dodge discovers a strange device that when activated scatters the four kids across alternate dimensions. The film will follow the group on an intergalactic adventure as they attempt to locate each other, find a way back home, and save the world.
Check out the promo for
Binbag below.
Disturbing events seem to be a regular occurrence lately but none are more troubling to Dodge than his suspicions that aliens have taken over the school. An already weird day takes a stranger turn when a mysterious device falls into Dodge’s hands and he is propelled – along with his tower block friends and classmates – into new realities which tap into their fears and desires.
Off planet, the gang see for themselves how the aliens have infiltrated their school and are using propaganda techniques to mind control pupils into accepting the imminent alien invasion! The gang fight back against the invaders but not everything goes to plan as they find themselves stuck in a different world desperate to find their way back…
Binbag is slated to go into production by the end of the year. The film is being written and created by Karen Taylor and Adam Fair with hopes that it will be the first of at least two or three feature films.
