00:00 Do you miss when superhero movies were like, fun?

00:03 It seems lately that it's the same old characters over and over again, bogged down with excessive

00:09 backstories, predictable plots, cookie cutter corporate crafting, superfluous CGI.

00:14 It's like they're missing that spark that they used to have, right?

00:18 My name's Austin.

00:19 For the past year, I've been working on something different.

00:22 A cinematic universe featuring forgotten golden age heroes in brand new adventures made with

00:29 love.

00:30 Today, I'm seeking your help to bring one such hero back to life.

00:34 Private Detective David Merriweather and his alter ego, the sensational Catman.

00:40 As an infant, he is the sole survivor of his family's caravan on a doomed journey through

00:46 Burma.

00:47 Left for dead, baby David is raised by a mother tigress, learns the ways of the jungle, and

00:52 upon reaching manhood, returns to America to begin a cunning crusade against crime.

00:59 First on the 1940s comic book character, we want to bring you an original, traditionally

01:04 animated Super Zeroes mystery cartoon.

01:07 A hard-boiled detective story that's not afraid to get wacky, we're interested in

01:12 breaking from modern trends and breathing new life into the hero genre.

01:17 Feeling intrigued?

01:18 Here's the plan.

01:19 I recently partnered with Spiky Tortoise, an independent animator out of Canada, for

01:24 a sensational Catman test pilot, offering a 15-minute glimpse of the character.

01:30 Folks seemed to dig it, so we want to make more.

01:33 Hey all, Ian here, and I'm thrilled to present the new look for Catman.

01:37 Post-pilot, I went back to the drawing board and reworked the whole look of the show.

01:41 The new look is a love letter to classic cartoons of yesteryear and allows for smoother, more

01:45 dynamic animation.

01:46 And I cannot wait to share more with you all very soon.

01:50 If we hit our Kickstarter goal, we'll get cracking on a Catman movie.

01:55 And if we manage to reach our stretch goal, we'll instead make a nine-episode Saturday

02:01 morning cartoon-style series with even more stories.

02:05 By backing our campaign, you can be the first to watch, get access to exclusive behind-the-scenes

02:10 live streams, have your name included in the credits, and even become a producer.

02:16 You can help support a fully independent hero adventure.

02:20 No big studios, no corporate influences, just pure creativity driven by our love for classic

02:27 animation.

02:28 For as little as a few bucks, you can help bring the project to life.

02:32 So support us today, and together, we'll put the sensational Catman back on the case.
