Little Johnny to premiere at Melbourne Comedy Fest
The animated feature Little Johnny The Movie will premiere as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, screening from 1-24 April at Greater Union Russell Street.
“The overall sensibility of the Chuck Jones cartoons struck a chord immediately. We wanted to celebrate the golden era of animation but with a distinctly adult sense of humour. It’s kind of like the old studio cartoons featuring Bugs, Elmer and Daffy, but on steroids,” said director Ralph Moser.
The film – a mockumentary that traces the origins of Little Johnny jokes, looking at the day to day life of the boy and his dysfunctional family – features the voices of Kevin “Bloody” Wilson and Genevieve Morris. It was written by Moser, Dean Murphy and Stewart Faichney, and produced by Murphy, David Redman, Shana Levine and Andrew Davies.
