I worked on this very exciting story in 2018-2019 as the Production Designer, created both environment concepts and character design explorations while guiding teams in the UK and India
One of the most dramatic episodes in the film happens at this historical former military location — Maunsell Forts.
The story takes place in modern London around its canals, parks and historical neighborhoods.
London Zoo is the main location where everything starts: this is where Billy lives; this is where he has friends; this is where the adventure begins.
Two main characters Billy and Bandit are having a very typical conversation. One is very excited and the other one knows exactly who is the troublemaker here.

Characters
Having explored stylized character design ideas, the IP owner decided to try a more realistic design approach as well.

Though earlier character design approach was much more stylized and even comedic.
