A while back we posted a couple of video clips for a new animated show called Trunk Train. Fast forward a few months and the first episode is now available online (embedded below). However, it is not in English, so you’ll have to click on the “cc” (closed caption) button to enable subtitles. The red and white “cc” button appears after you press play. It’s definitely worth a look. The animation is top-notch and it’s very entertaining. We wish the folks at Copa Studio luck in finding English distribution.
