Bobbypills, an animation studio that specializes in young adult animation, was born from a collaboration between David Alric of Bobbyprod (the Kassos, Lastman, Monsieur Flap) and the SVOD platform Blackpills 1 year ago, and what better way to celebrate this first anniversary than a special evening? Back on this event organized by the PIFF which was necessarily forbidden to children under 18 years old.
Present for the occasion were Davil Alric (producer), Balak (Vermin and Peepoodoo & the Super Fuck Friends), Jérémie Périn (Crisis Jung), Baptiste Gaubert (Crisis Jung), Jérémie Hoarau (Crisis Jung), Laurent Sarfati (Crisis Jung), Alexis Beaumont (Vermin), Philippe Monthaye (composer), Jeanne Chartier (voice), Brigitte Lecordier (voice) and Marc Aguesse.
We start the evening with three episodes of Peepoodoo & the Super Fuck Friends created by Balak and Mr. Flap's team. Series that explores without taboos over 18 episodes, sexuality in a positive and unrestrained way, in all its forms totally ignoring the prejudices that one can have and leading to a single goal: tolerance.
Scheduled to air this summer on Blackpills (around mid-July).
We then continue with the complete series Vermin (formerly Chmite, 10 episodes of 7 min taking up the American sitcomesque codes) created by the team of Kassos whose trait we recognize, is already broadcast on Blackpills since last April in French, English and Spanish.
Vermin tells "the story of a male praying mantis, who goes to the city to become a cop and who will shit a lot. It's a bit like Zootopia but without tolerance."
A season two was announced at the event.
After the intermission we find three new episodes of the magnificent series Peepoodoo & the Super Fuck Friends.
By listening we will recognize the voice of Vincent Ropion (Nicky Larson), Jeanne Chartier (the Kassos) and Brigitte Lecordier, famous Seiyû (dubbing actor) who lent his voice to Bouba, Bouli, Oui-Oui or a certain San Goku. Enough to blur our childhood in a good mood.
And we finish with Crisis Jung directed by the team of Lastman whose style we recognize, which takes place over 10 episodes of 6 min. Never broadcast yet, making it a world exclusive.
We could hardly describe the series but we would get closer to it by talking about a psychoanalytic work that deals with love and peace in a post-apocalyptic and transgender world, as if Ken the survivor went to see a shrink, using the codes of Japanese animation. Jérémie Périn (co-creator of the series) even adding that it is "big anything in the positive sense of the word".
Broadcast scheduled this summer on Blackpills (around late July early August).
This sold-out event shows that there is an audience for adult animation and that the France, which provides the best training and is the 3rd largest exporter of animation in the world in all formats (behind the USA and Japan), can enter the game despite the upcoming closure of France 4. The evening also shows that the animation can be varied, intelligent and creative, that it is therefore not only reserved for children and that everyone can find a shoe to his feet.
Finally, I recommend this BOBBY Blah-Blah from the Bobbypills team which deals in this first issue of… adult animation of course.
