The Ballad of Skipjack & Atticus - Seneca Polytechnic 2D Film - 2024

Nothing ever happens in the desert town of Meekspring, until Skipjack, a smooth talking con cat, and his protégé Atticus roll into town. But before they can get away with pulling off the heist, bounty hunter Barkley steps into the fray. Will they live to steal another day or will this be the end of their conniving career?
