The Ballad of Poisonberry Pete, A Pie Filled Animated Western

The Ballad of Poisonberry Pete, a humorous animated film that mixes the wild west with delicious pies, was created by Ringling College of Art and Design graduates Adam Campbell, Elizabeth McMahill and Uri Lotan. The pun filled film was an online exclusive for the JibJab sponsored Cartoon Brew third annual Student Animation Festival.

The filmmakers give fresh life to the tried-and-true Western genre by inserting a left-field element into the mix: baked goods. Despite the short running time, the filmmakers create distinctive personalities and designs for all the characters. Dramatic shot composition, atmospheric lighting, and appropriate music complete this tongue-in-cheek tribute to classic Western films.
