Primal<\/a> creator Genndy Tartakovsky is taking his case to the people. Much like the folks behind Coyote vs. Acme<\/a> and The Tiny Chef Show<\/a>, Tartakovsky is taking his passion project to social media in hopes of getting a groundswell movement going. \u201cWell, this might get me in trouble,\u201d he wrote. \u201cBut gotta try a new strategy.\u201d Tartakovsky shared approximately 1 minute of test animation for The Black Knight. He said he and his team started working on this movie six years ago. \u201cWe developed it for a few years, the studio liked what we were doing but they were unsure if there is an audience that would go see it theatrically,\u201d he wrote. Fans theorize that \u201cthe studio\u201d in question is Sony Pictures Animation, because of Tartakovsky\u2019s work with them on the Hotel Transylvania<\/a> franchise.<\/p>\n The test footage shows a big ol\u2019 boy fighting a much smaller ninja warrior. It\u2019s that perfecty-timed action thing that Tartakovsky does best. \u201cI won\u2019t share the details of the story except for one element, our Knight Armor is 20 feet high and controlled by a knight inside using ropes, pulleys, and levers,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThe setting is around the 14th century.\u201d So it\u2019s kind of a ye olde mecha? Fun. Tartakovsky\u2019s post is gathering steam, with celebs like Bobby Moynihan and Jack Quaid expressing their support in the comments.<\/p>\n Related<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Primal creator Genndy Tartakovsky is taking his case to the people.
