Zenescope is doing a Kickstarter project for a Grimm Fairy Tales Animated Series that looks like it is pretty going to rock the house. We love Zenescope over here, and consistently talk about their stuff, so this is a project that we are going to totally support and think the rest of the world should support this one as well.
They are asking for a lot of money, 175,000 dollars and they are about 1/3rd of the way there, with a lot of money yet to raise. They have some pretty awesome prizes to win for supporting the project, but with the amount of money they are asking for, they are going to need your help to get the animated series out there and in the market. So this one is going to be a hard pull, but even if you can only give five bucks, then you should give them five bucks. It would be interesting to see the animated series, because if they stay true to the comic books, we are going to see something that is going to be a bad ass version of the series.
It is awesome they are trying to do this on their own, and the disappointments of Hollywood not getting what they are trying to do is going to be fairly typical. Archer has become a sleeper hit when almost no one wanted to take them on, and we think that the Zenescope Grimm Fairy Tales Animated Series will be something similar to Archer, sleeper hit, awesome to watch, and just makes people happy.
If you can do it, even five bucks is going to help, they have 28 days left to come up with something like 120,000 dollars, so tough pull, but should be totally worth it. Let’s see if we can as a community give them a little help like we did with Brandon Jerwa’s project, or Justin Zimmerman’s project over on Kickstarter. They have done so much amazing work in the past; there should be no difference between the movie and what we get as comic books. This should be totally worth it, and the prizes are pretty cool, some of the stuff we already have and are asking stupid amounts of money for them online, you are going to get some cool rare stuff from them.
Here is their video on the project.
