Uranus Whispers
Trailer
Synopsis
The plot
Wiss and Krill, two self-absorbed extra-terrestrial buddies, complain vociferously about their Neptunian surroundings. They procure a rocket and attempt an escape to neighboring planet Uranus. Unbeknownst to our encapsulated idiots, their rocket launch is thwarted, and they end up going nowhere. Emerging from their space capsule full of hope, Wiss and Krill convince themselves they have arrived on Uranus and life is better.

Characters
Waverly Wiss
Waverly Wiss, is an anthropomorphic machine, a unicycle melded together with a ‘50’s era Chrysler coupe. Wiss speaks via a front grille of a mouth. He moves via the single whitewall tire on which he is mounted. His bladder nose inflates and deflates as he breathes. His stubbly bald flesh pate is also the lid to the rubbish bin of his inner confines. He has bulging eyes, working tail lights, and trunk space.
KloroPhil Krill
KloroPhil Krill, my film’s “buddy” protagonist character, is likewise a cartoon bricolage, a funky assemblage of animal, human, and bug-like components. Jointed arms and anthropomorphic legs (clad in bell-bottom trousers and platform shoes) emanate from Krill’s carapace-like body, a turtle shell with a ridge of Triceratops spikes bisecting its spine. Krill’s eyes appear as two eggs on a plate atop his goofy and buck-toothed dinosaur face, which protrudes via his drainpipe neck from a “gun-bunker” opening slit in the front of his carapace.
Kitch’N’Little
Kitch’N’Little is a poultry pull-toy of a creature who serves as the foil for my protagonist’s ambitions (imagine a colorful tea kettle that has sprouted tiny chicken wings, four wheels for locomotion, a feather-duster tail, and a long stubbly arm (where the neck should be) crowned by a yellow rubber cocks-comb/wattle-like dish glove to which huge staring eyes and a slender beak are attached to form a head and face).Credits
