Stéphane Aubier and Vincent Patar are both cult favorites and leading names in European animation. The pair met as art students, graduating in 1981 the visual arts academy in Brussels. Their multiple award-winning 20-episode TV series "A Town Called Panic", in which simple plastic toys get into monumental trouble, has been shown the world over.

Two years of work went into the feature film of the same name. Brimming with wry internal logic and a virulent strain of Belgian surrealism, everything they animate overflows with imagination and energy.
