Release date and trailer for the indie comedy Hitpig!


Originally scheduled for last year, the animated comedy Hitpig! finally has a release date. Below info and the first official trailer.


Hitpig is a clever bounty hunting pig who catches escaped animals and returns them to their owners. His next job is his biggest yet: return a dancing elephant named Pickles to a maniacal Vegas showman, for a million bucks. The mission quickly escalates into a wild adventure around the world. When danger looms, it is up to Hitpig to save the day but he can't do it alone. He must realize that some things are more important than a paycheck and finds the greatest bounty of all, friends.

Hitpig is based on characters from Pete & Pickles, from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Berkeley Breathed.

Produced by Aniventure and distributed by Viva Pictures, the feature film is directed by David Feiss (Minions: The Rise of Gru) and Cinzia Angelini (Minions), with a story by author Breathed and a screenplay by Dave Rosenbaum and Tyler Werrin (The Lorax). The film is produced by Rosenbaum along with Adam Nagle (Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank), with music by Isabella Summers of the band Florence & the Machine.

With animations produced by Cinesite, the film features voice actors such as Jason Sudeikis (Hitpig!), Lilly Singh (Pickles), Rainn Wilson, RuPaul, Flavor Flav, Hannah Gadsby, Anitta, Lorraine Ashbourne, Andy Serkis, Charlie Adler and Shelby Young.
