A Town Called Panic
Stéphane Aubier and Vincent Patar are both cult favorites and leading names in European animation. Their multiple award-winning 20-episode TV series “A Town Called Panic”, in which simple plastic toys get into monumental trouble, has been shown the world over. Two years of work went into the feature film of the same name. Brimming with wry internal logic and a virulent strain of Belgian surrealism, everything they animate overflows with imagination and energy.

Synopsis:
Animated plastic toys like Cowboy, Indian and Horse have problems, too. Cowboy and Indian’s plan to surprise Horse with a homemade birthday gift backfires when they destroy his house instead. Surreal adventures take over as the trio travel to the center of the earth, trek across frozen tundra and discover a parallel underwater universe where pointy-headed (and dishonest!) creatures live. Each speedy character is voiced - and animated - as if their very air contains both amphetamines and laughing gas. With panic a permanent feature of life in this papier mâché town, will Horse and his girlfriend ever be alone?
