A New Focus

摘要

Tales of the Riverbank is a feature film remake, directed by Spitting Image's John Henderson, of the much-loved 1960s British television series. This time, its animal characters undergo a 21st century makeover through a combination of puppeteering and 3D animation, the latter of which was completed by postproduction company Prime Focus London. The film tells the story of three friends-Hammy Hamster, Roderick Rat, and GP the Guinea Pig-who, having been swept downriver in a violent storm, embark on an epic journey in search of their lost homes. The animals' adven- tures include encountering the evil Fat Cats and their WMD (waffle, marmalade, and doughnut) factory.
