Director: David Feiss, Cinzia Angelini
A bounty-hunting pig and an elephant who refuses to be caught team up for an oddball, globe-hopping road trip in Hitpig!, a 2024 animated comedy from Canada and the United Kingdom.
What is Hitpig! about?
Hitpig makes his living tracking down exotic runaways for the highest bidder, and his newest target is Unity, a free-spirited elephant who slipped out of captivity and has no intention of going back quietly. Instead of a clean capture, Hitpig ends up dragged along on Unity's chaotic dash across continents, crossing paths with a colorful lineup of animals, hustlers, and obstacles along the way. As the chase stretches from one unlikely setting to the next, the two start to realize their goals might not be as opposed as they first seemed. The film leans into slapstick set pieces and rapid-fire gags, aiming squarely at family audiences looking for a bright, fast-paced comedy rather than a message-driven adventure.
Cast & crew
Jason Sudeikis voices Hitpig with a mix of gruff bravado and comic exasperation, while Lilly Singh brings Unity's restless energy to life. The supporting voice cast is stacked with recognizable names, including Rainn Wilson, RuPaul, Hannah Gadsby, Anitta, and Flavor Flav, each adding a distinct comic flavor to the animals and characters Hitpig and Unity meet on the road.
Context & significance
Co-directed by David Feiss and Cinzia Angelini, both veterans of animated comedy, the film draws on classic buddy-chase structure and gives it a modern, globe-trotting spin. The joint Canadian-British production leans on an ensemble of comedians and musicians for its voice cast, giving the humor a broad, varied rhythm from scene to scene.
