About The Germ of an Idea
Two hybrid characters become fixated by an idea. As they talk to each other they become more and more obsessed with the idea, but the more they talk the less capable they are of translating their ideas into action. Witty, wicked and kinky in concept innovative in use of animation. Prequel to the short film Crust.
Directed by John Evan Hughes, The Germ of an Idea leans on a strong ensemble — Paul Livingston, Geore Craglietto, Bruce Currie — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1985.
