Ernest Egg is an adventurer, an explorer and a scientist who will undertake several trips around the world with his faithful friend Karl Von Kartoffeln, just to satisfy his thirst for knowledge and his desire to impress. During these trips he will study, document and hunt those who the common people call “Legends” and that no one has actually ever seen.
The whole project starts with a picture book: The Diary of Ernest Egg. The volume will show us a fascinating world made of paper in which images and words open the door to a fantastic dimension. Irony, surprise and discovery are the basic ingredients that will carry the reader in our peculiar hero’s magic adventures. Here, we’ll see Ernest for who he really is: a pulp character in a very pop environment.
The project’s concept has been thought out in such a way that it can be enjoyed by a very wide range of “children” of all ages, from pre-teens all the way to those adult readers who keep looking at life in a playful and ironic way.
Mainly inspired by the great adventure writers such as Jules Verne and Jack London and by movies like Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s dreamy “Amélie”, Ernest Egg’s all about travel and discovery, play and adventure, the fundamental archetypes of human consciousness. The stories will lay before the readers’ eyes as very familiar yet fantastic situations: the comparison with real life will then make the latter so much lighter and fun, just as children look around them and see nothing but opportunity.
The idea is to produce a great and awesome stop-motion film.
