Creative Quote: Director Pierre Perifel tells us, “It was incredibly fun and challenging to expand on the world we had created three years ago for The Bad Guys and push this next chapter towards bigger cinematic heights. I am so proud of what our talented crew of artists accomplished with this new opus. The film is a massive action-comedy that plays right off the tone we had established in the first movie. Not onyl is it both highly sophisticated in it’s visuals, music and plot, but also incredibly silly in its humor and outrageous set pieces.The whole film really is a thrilling ride from start to finish.”

With all my projects I aspire to create something that will make people laugh, make people cry, and make angry dorks on the internet call me dumb and bad. I achieved all three with BoJack horseman. With my new show I’m hoping to get at least two.”
