Meeting MacGuffin

In a post-apocalyptic future where humanity has fallen apart, a group of scientists and an animated sign complete the construction of a new human race and meet a groundhog climatologist who prepares them for their mission to restore balance to the decimated Earth.

Directed by Catya Plate, Meeting MacGuffin leans on a strong ensemble — Richard Steven Horvitz, Misty Lee, John McBride — 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 2017.
