BLOODBATH

Animated Feature Film

Writer | Director

BLOODBATH is an animated proof-of-concept teaser for an adult animated feature — a brutal, ultraviolent western set in a war-torn animal kingdom.

Cute animals. Big guns. Buckets of blood.

Based on Daniel Polansky’s novella The Builders, the project follows a Mouse with No Name who leads a band of killer critters on a blood-soaked mission to reclaim the throne. Think The Good, the Bad and the Ugly meets Watership Down — with the savage absurdity of Zootopia reimagined through the lens of John Wick, Tarantino, and Peckinpah.

Written and directed by Robert Rugan.
