Electropolis Vermin!

On top of Michael Donavan's company DHX aka Halifax Film Company being squeezed for more money to lease the Electropolis Soundstage, Frank Magazine is reporting the place is invested with Rats! Mind you, only the grunt workers toil away there, management firmly esconcened above a Starbooks on Spring Garden Road, so there's no worries, right?

Wrong! Apparently these particular rats are fond of stop motion animation puppets and have kidnapped them. The fact that these puppets cost thousands of dollars is one thing but the thought of Poko or Minus being dragged off frantically waving for help (ed. albeit frantic would be one movement a minute for the little guys) is sickening.

This of course is the government's fault and they should step in and subsidize the lease costs for the struggling international distributor.
