An Independent
Short Film From
Joe Murray Studio and Garden Box
Animation.
The small Irish fishing town of Fish Head is turned upside down
when Fisherman
Blister McFlatus discovers a Magic fish, and wishes for,what he
believes to be,his
deepest desire. Completion is aimed for early 2009.
As a loose adaptation of “A Fisherman’s Wife” by the Brothers
Grimm,
Fish Head
also questions the impact of our “wants” on our overall quality
of life. In a way a ‘Green film’, both in the message and the
production methods, Fish Head still captures the maniacal humor
of Rocko and Lazlo, while experimenting with mixed media styles.
Definitely a “darker tale”, the backgrounds
combine a mixture of weathered paint on
barn wood, hand made papers and cloth,
with recycled cardboard for character coloring.
Fish Head is the first of, what will hopefully be,
a series of “Earth Friendly” animated films,
produced by Garden Box Animation Studios.
