George the Hedgehog, an inveterate womanizer, big fan of skateboard and couple of pints after hours becomes a key point in the master plan of a genetic manipulations freak. The crazy scientist hires two deadly enemies of George, the skinheads, Zenek and Stefan. Their job is to get hold of George’s genes in order to create the Hedgehog’s clone and evoke a new media sensation whereby they can control the world. George the Hedgehog is based on the hugely popular Polish underground cult comic „Jez Jerzy“. Its a social satire both entertaining and accurate in portraying a disaffected youth and a government desperate to relate to them. Excellent alternative to offerings of Pixar and Disney.
