Zenescope Turn To Kickstarter To Fund Grimm Fairly Tales AnimationBleeding Cool has reported on how a number of name comic creators, from Michael Zulli, to Jimmy Palmiotti, to Alex De Campi, have turned to Kickstarter to fund their comic book projects, avoiding the need for a publisher to advance the costs on what may well be a financial risk to publish.

In France, the biggest comics publisher – and the third biggest publisher – is also using social network fundraising to fund certain less mainstream projects.

But no US comics publisher has actually embraced this model wholeheartedly yet – though they have picked up projects started in this fashion.

Until now.

At Wondercon, Zenescope is announcing the Kickstarter funding for the the creation of an animated cartoon pilot of Grimm Fairy Tales, the comic in which your favourite childhood fairy stories are reinterpreted for an older audience and with lots of women getting their balloon-like tits out, and bending over to pick up, I don't know, four leaf clovers or something

It will cost $175,000. And the fundraiser will run until the end of April. It already has $5000.

The film will be directed by Jon Schnepp and the Titmouse Inc. animation studio.

"Titmouse". Heh.
