[Updating our original post on this with a higher quality trailer and word that it is now pretty much complete and slated for a mid-March release in Poland.]
Hide your women and children, Polish cult icon Jez Jerzy (George the Hedgehog) is coming to the big screen and given Jerzy's fondness for alcohol and blow up dolls, I'd say this isn't one for the kids.
Here's how the Polish Film Institute very politely describes the film:
A comedy about a hedgehog named Jerzy. He lives like a human, struggling against the stupidity, fanaticism, bigotry and hypocrisy that surround him. Jerzy's enemies include two neo-Nazis: Stefan and Zenek. They are helped by the Mad Scientist and his greedy Assistant, who create the anti-hedgehog: The Clone.
This does not even begin to hint at the madness that lurks within. The producers are a little more accurate:
