Crossing Swords

2020–2021 · 2 seasons

A crude, fast-paced stop-motion spoof that feels like a bawdy fairy tale, packed with visual gags and cynical laughs.

Overview: Goodhearted hero wannabe Patrick lands his dream job as a squire, only to learn the royal castle is a corrupt hornet’s nest of horny monarchs, crooks and charlatans. War, murder, full frontal nudity—who knew brightly colored peg people led such exciting lives?
How it feels: Satirical, absurd, campy and cynical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Corruption, power, family, betrayal
Content: Strong violence, sexual content and language. Mild gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
