Gigglebug’s adult animation label In Stitches reveals its first full-blown animated series credit with Belzebubs!
We had the immense pleasure of being invited by Pyjama Films to come on board as the animation studio partner for the production. And really, who says no to the chance to animate the black metal mayhem of JP Ahonen?
We can’t wait to see Belzebubs take over the world and for many more adult animated shows to come under the In Stitches label.
Meet the Belzebubs, your typical demon-summoning family next door! Sløth is shuffling his stay-at-home dad obligations with his lifelong (soon to be stale- dated) dream of being a heavy metal rock star. His passionate breadwinner wife, Lucy, is fed up with her job and one meltdown away from sacrificing her colleagues to Satan. Their teenage daughter, Lilith, has just hit puberty and is wielding the effects of her raging hormones, stalking a boy in her class. And her brother, Leviathan, appears to be the only one exhibiting some sort of societal normalcy in the family. Unfortunately, he’s only eight. Can Sløth juggle his fierce wife, wicked kids, a very lively mother-in-law, a very deceased father-in- law, his dysfunctional band, their mounting debts, the record company’s in- creasing demands and still achieve his dream? No. But that sure as Hell won’t stop him from trying.
