The return of Junk Head! Get a look at this peculiar new creation from Japan. An official trailer has debuted for an indie stop-motion animation movie called Junk World, the second in a new trilogy set around the Junk Head universe. Junk World is the second film from filmmaker Takahide Hori, following his first feature Junk Head in 2017, about a world where weird cloned humanoid-esque creations live underground. Four years have passed since Junk Head sent the world into a frenzy. Junk World, which depicts the world 1042 years before, invites you once again into an unknown adventure. This film will hit Japanese theaters in June, though we have no idea when it’ll show up elsewhere around the world. The film features stop-motion animated puppets and creatures galore, various weird designs and strange characters aplenty. It reminds me of the beautiful insanity that is Phil Tippett’s Mad God (2021), also a unique stop-motion creation. There’s some incredible flashes of footage in the second half of the trailer. I have no clue what is going on and where the story will go in this film, but it deserves our attention anyway! Check out the footage from Japan below. // Continue Reading ›
