🎬 Title: The Absurd, Surreal, Metaphysical and Fractured Destiny of Cerebus the Aardvark

Originally a mere oddity, he would ultimately become celebrated as the greatest hero to grace our realm.

Story: This animated feature draws inspiration from the acclaimed comic series “Cerebus the Aardvark,” which is often credited with pioneering the indie alternative comic scene. Launched in 1977, the series spanned 300 issues and earned the Guinness World Record for the “Most consecutive issues of a comic-book drawn and written by one individual.” The visionary behind this project, Dave Sim, initially expressed skepticism about our film’s potential, estimating a 99% chance he would disapprove. Remarkably, once the film was completed, he gave it his seal of approval. This production is also notable for being the first CGI film made without a budget. Sim had previously rejected offers from major studios such as George Lucas, DreamWorks, and Paramount.
