The strange things that matter.

Watch on YouTube What we make

The world is stranger than it looks. Here's how we found out.

We tell real stories and new discoveries as animated films. No lectures, no filler: one question, followed all the way down.

  1. A moment that shouldn't make sense.Every story starts with something strange that really happened.
  2. The people who refused to look away.Real experiments, real lives, and the clue nobody expected.
  3. The science underneath.By the end, something familiar looks completely different.

Every story gets its own world.

Original animation, made scene by scene for each film: from the inside of a cell to the edge of the solar system.
