The Card Thieves

Synopsis

First, imagine a box full of little plastic toys like the ones we all played with as kids: cowboys, Indians, farm animals, cyclists, knights in armour, etc … Next, imagine two childlike author-animators taking hold of these rigid figurines and bringing them to life by making them act out the craziest of adventures with no regard to sense or logic. The result are the 20 episodes of PANIQUE AU VILLAGE. In THE CARD THIEVES, Cowboy, Indian, Steven and Janine are in the middle of a card game when suddenly a gang of Atlantes from the lake rush in and steal the cards. The friends are determined to get their cards back …
