Oooh. I want this DVD.Rex Steele: Nazi Smasher is an animated short directer by Alex Woo. It won the Student Academy Award in the animation category and has been screened and honored at a number of film festivals around the world.
The story is simple, "It is 1941, and the United States is at war with Nazi Germany. The U.S. Government has just been informed that Eval Schnitzler, a high-ranking Nazi general, has occupied a legendary volcano on the coast of South America.
Convinced that his motives are more than leisurely, the United States sends Rex Steele, Nazi smasher extraordinaire, to uncover and foil the Nazi's evil plans.
Rex flies into the Amazon with his sidekick, Penny Thimble, and the two embark on a journey full of action, adventure, thrills, chills - and of course, Nazi smashing galore!"
The animation looks wonderful. Richly detailed with some really fun character designs. Take a look at two screenshots i pulled from the website.
The DVD is available for sale from Monkeysuit.com - just follow the Store link. You'll find a trailer for the film and some additional info on the film there as well. $15.00 gets you a 2-disc set including the animated short, a bunch of behind the scenes stuff, plus the full soundtrack. Sounds like a great deal to me and a great way to support up-incoming animation talent.
