In search of a missing brother, two orphans set off across a war zone filled with trigger-happy soldiers, merciless bandits and giant robots.

Minushi is an epic story of the human spirit thrust into an unforgiving world of wicked villains, harsh landscapes and fiery conflicts. From within a city under martial law Trixi, an orphan, sets off on a journey to find the only family she's ever known; her older brother, Griffin. Joining her on the adventure is her faint-hearted best-friend, Khal, who turns out to have a secret that brings with it a world of trouble for the pair. Ahead of them lies a war zone fraught with menacing bandits, lumbering giants and an army bent on capturing them dead or alive. At their heels stalks the nefarious, black-cloaked Mr. Tinker and his band of robot goons. During their odyssey, Trixi and Khal not only evade loathsome foes and overcome hardships but they come to realize important values such as friendship, courage and hope.

Written, drawn and animated solely by filmmaker Tyler Gibb, Minushi is a feature film like none other both on and off the screen.

This double DVD set includes the 94 minute feature in 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound in addition to its original stereo version plus a commentary track by filmmaker Tyler Gibb. The second disk contains over 90 minutes of supplemental material including Gibb's making-of documentary entitled "Details" which chronicles the DIY methods behind the madness of creating an entire feature length animated film on your own.

Viewer Comments:

"Beautiful... Simply stunning. The graphics were exceptional, the sound was very well done, and most importantly, I felt a connection to the two main characters and wanted to see them succeed. That only happens with good writing and great design. Bravo."

"It is incredible! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, and that's NEVER happened to me before when watching a flash movie."

"I'm speechless. Simply incredible, one of the best cartoons I have ever seen."

"Some of the shots blew me away. They looked like bits from Blade Runner they were that good. The voice work was amazing too. The voices captured the characters amazingly well and the music was perfect."
