Fungus The Bogeyman

The three part series, which took centre stage on Sky 1’s Christmas line up, explores the dirty, grotty and snotty underground home of bogeymen and bogeywomen. As Fungus and his family’s Bogeyworld collides with the clean, dry, and distinctly unbogey-like “surface world,” they find themselves desperately trying to fit in with the dry cleaners and lead a “normal” life.

With an all-star cast, including Timothy Spall, Victoria Wood, Joanna Scanlan and Andy Serkis as the narrator, the goal was always focused on being able to inform the CGI Fungus’s performance as much as possible from the artists playing him in real life throughout the process.

DNEG Episodic was delighted to have worked on one of the most of the most ambitious VFX projects attempted for British Television, comprising both live action and CGI hand animated creation to bring Raymond Briggs’s beloved book to life.

Sure to be a heartwarming, hilarious and slimy treat, don’t miss Fungus the Bogeyman!
