Headcases New CG Animated TV Series
Posted at 7:53 pm | Comments Off


Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone and Harrison Ford depicted in 3D

Headcases starts on ITV Sunday April 6th.
The new CG animated series is in the same satirical vain as 2DTV and Spitting Image.
First impressions from the trails are quite promising. The characters resemble their counterparts, look well designed and rendered. John Culshaw and Rory Bremner lead the way providing voices for the 64 strong cast amongst a host of UK comedy talent.
The series was created and directed by the original Spitting Image writer Henry Naylor and developed by Red Vision in Manchester and London. It is said to have cost £2.5 million to make.
