On YouTube:

============ EXCITING NEWS!!!! ===========

We have been developing the script for a special 11-minute film (that’s right, 11 minutes!). It’s a film Simon has long wanted to make and also one of the most fan-requested themes: A trip to the vets! The film will be extra special as it will also be the first to be animated in colour!

In case you’re wondering if this is the end of Simon’s Cat on YouTube, don’t worry! It is very important to us that the much-loved black and white films also continue to be made and we plan to continue releasing them for free online for as long as you continue to enjoy them.

‘Off to the Vets’ is an ambitious project for us, not least because the amount of animation we plan to produce is virtually equivalent to our entire year’s output! We’ve written the script and Simon has started the storyboard – but we won’t be able to make it without our fans’ help and support.

That’s why we’re considering turning to crowd-funding to help raise the shortfall in funds and also keep the production independent. For those that might not know, crowd-funding gives fans and communities the opportunity to give money to help realise projects they love. Backers pledge their chosen amount (from as little as £1 up to much higher amounts) and in return they have the chance to exclusively follow the project’s progress, gain access to the finished product and receive a range of very special rewards including original artwork!

We would love to hear what you think of our crowd-funding plans. Please share your thoughts on our Google+ post – https://plus.google.com/+SimonsCat/posts/TBpDWtZgrXw, Or on our Facebook post – https://www.facebook.com/simonscat/posts/10152631301869523
