Stephen Irwin Has Got MOXIE

Stephen Irwin, as I believe I have said before, is a genius. An absolute, flat-out genius. The UK based animator first came to our attention thanks to his stunning short The Black Dog's Progress and we've been keeping a close eye on him ever since and every piece of subsequent work has done nothing but reinforce that initial assessment. That Stephen Irwin is a genius.

And now he's back with Moxie. It's the story of a bear. A dead bear. A story that takes Irwin's trademark smudgy, high-contrast black and white style and wedges it into the world of film noir with fabulous results. Soon to premiere at the Ottawa Animation Festival the first teaser has just released. It'll be the best thing you see all day.
