Cat Dads In Outer Space

Logline

When a gay mining prospector couple's cat discovers a life-enhancing cosmic goo on their asteroid, they must outrun a ruthless C&W singing space pirate determined to steal it.

Summary

Old Scottish prospector couple Ahab and Gert, living on their mining base asteroid Valhalla, realise that their cat Pip Pop's youthfulness is related to goo coming from a crack in the wall of their store room. The goo rejuvenates them, but when they share it with supply ship friend Seumas, and he is captured by space cannibal Sunny Bean, things quickly get scary.

History

Cat Dads in Outer Space is an animation series by David Hutchison, inspired by his The Prospectors series of picture books. Initially the first book Pip Pop's Find was made into a short animation The Prospectors:Pip Pops's Find and screened at SQIFF. Then with funding it was combined with the second story Queen of the Kuiper Belt and became the pilot Cat Dads In Outer Space.

The pilot episode of Cat Dads In Outer Space has just launched (19/10/26) on Scotflix. New episodes on Mondays.
