Egon & Donci comes out on DVD on November 17
This new KIDS FIRST! endorsed feature from Strang Releasing features two characters who live on an idyllic, little planet in a neighboring solar system. Egon is an ever so slightly eccentric, amateur ‘rocket scientist’ assisted in his endeavors by a clumsy, and decidedly overfed, catlike creature called Donci. Their simple existence becomes suddenly complicated when an unidentified object flies into their lives (Voyager-3) with a message from Earth. Egon decides that there is only one thing to do and that is to establish contact with this distant civilization. The fundamental and unavailable philosophy of this animated adventure is a singularly simple one: the complete and total avoidance of aggression in any form whatsoever. The lovable characters at the center of events never knowingly harm another living being. Although they often get battered and bruised, it is only as a result of their own hapless antics. Egon and Donci never speak on screen and so all communication that takes place between them is achieved by a series of childish mimes and simple sounds. Directed by Ádám Magyar.
