Glitch Productions and Dana Terrace Release Mysterious Animated Pilot "Knights of Guinevere"
Published: 19 September 2025 By: Staff Writer
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA — Animation studio Glitch Productions, in collaboration with acclaimed creator Dana Terrace, has released a new animated pilot titled Knights of Guinevere. The pilot premiered on September 19, 2025, and marks Glitch Productions’ first foray into 2D animation.
The pilot blends science fiction, psychological mystery, and fairy tale aesthetics. It has drawn attention online for its unique world, haunting atmosphere, and unexpectedly emotional narrative.
A New Kind of "Princess"
Set in a surreal floating theme park known as Park Planet, the story follows a mysterious android called Guinevere who once led a rebellion but is now reduced to a commercialized mascot. That is, until a pair of scavenger girls from below the park — Andi and Frankie — discover a damaged Guinevere unit showing signs of sentience.
The girls repair her finger — a small act that kicks off a strange and tense series of events, unfolding in the shadows beneath the park’s colorful exterior. What follows is a mix of memory, rebellion, and control — told through the lens of artificial identity and trauma.
