George the Hedgehog

Running time: 80 mins

George cannot be controlled. Unfortunately, neither can his clone.

Based on Jez Jerzy (George the Hedgehog) comic books, this Polish animation surprises and amuses. George, a hedgehog who spends his time chasing women, chugging beer, and skateboarding himself into trouble, has his world turned upside down when a mad scientist and his assistant begin a hunt for his DNA. Desperate to clone George in order to prove to colleagues his genius, the scientist winds up with the help of two neo-Nazis who speak ill of all foreigners and hedgehogs. After the two skin-heads manage to get the scientist what he needs from George, Poland enters a state of chaos when the clone breaks free from the lab.
