Triggerfish wrapped production on Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire earlier this year, and the Disney+ anthology has been nominated for several awards�including Best TV series (Tweens & Teenagers) for the Kidscreen Awards.
This description from Variety sums up it up best: �Executive produced by Oscar winner Peter Ramsey (�Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse�), Anthony Silverston of South African animation house Triggerfish, and Tendayi Nyeke, the 10-part anthology series offers a dizzying blend of mythology, science fiction and Afrofuturism, presenting 10 bold, wholly original visions of the future from a distinctly African perspective.
�The series, which is produced by Triggerfish, features animators from six African countries drawing on their own ancient histories, folklores and contemporary urban landscapes to reimagine a world populated with cyborg cattle, flying minibus-taxis, radioactive octopi and robotic birds. Collectively, they present a portrait of the continent that�s never been seen before.�
Two of the short films, �Mkhuzi, the Spirit Racer�, and �Hatima� were created at Studio Meala, and post-production was performed at Windmill Lane.
