Jack Rabbit, voiced by Gordon Pinsent.
Animator, director, producer, and Toronto Film Festival-winner Michael Mankowski is hard at work on a new project, and we were lucky enough to get to contribute by remotely recording some of the film’s voice over. Mankowski’s animation projects are often environmentally-focused, and this one will be no exception. The Beast: Heroes of The Wildfire is a retelling of one of the largest forest fire evacuations in Canadian history, and features a star studded cast and a deeply considered production process, some details of which are available at this project writeup and on the IMDB page. Stay tuned!
