The good folks and muppets at the Jim Henson Co. just announced a new stop-motion animated feature called “Monster Safari,” based on a short from the studio Screen Novelties. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the story concerns “what happens when the Earth’s monsters come out of hiding and a pair of bumbling crypto-zoologists spring into action to save them from a ruthless big-game hunter.”And if that weren’t awesome enough… the feature is being scripted by Craig Zobel and Matt Chapman, creators of Homestar Runner.
Please say this means the “bumbling crypto-zoologists” will search for a particular dragon-like creature with a beefy arm and consummate V’s. Because the only way to deal with a “ruthless big-game hunter”? Is to burninate it with fire.
