Honeycomb Animation, has teamed with Aardman Animations director Andy Wyatt (Planet Sketch, Pop School, Animal School) to bring a new adult-oriented animated series to mobile phones. Offering humorous looks at sex in the animal kingdom, Beastly Behaviour will be made available by Mobile Streams via The Comedy Channel on Vodafone Live in the U.K.
Each episode of Beastly Behaviour will focus on a certain animal or insect, poking fun at such peculiar reproductive qualities as the oyster’s gender bending, the cockroach’s seven sex organs and the angler fish’s ability to absors the entire body of her lover during intercourse. The collection of shorts is a continuation of a series Wyatt created and directed for WDR and Channel 4 for the 1994-1995 season.
