Animism: The Gods' Lake


Animism is a Canadian animated television series that airs on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network's APTN Kids block. Animated for APTN by Zeroes 2 Heroes, the series mixes First Nations mythology with urban fantasy concepts.

Development began in 2010. An alternate reality game titled Animism: The Sacred Sites debuted that year. The six-episode first season, Animism: The Gods' Lake, aired in 2013. A second season, Animism: Titan Falls, is in development.

It began as a developing alternate reality game in summer 2010 titled Animism: The Gods' Lake to promote the upcoming TV series still in development for APTN. It had an active site by autumn 2010 where the project was retitled Animism: The Sacred Sites. The ARG finally launched 1 January 2013 a few weeks before the show.

The story begins in Grind City with environmental activists from Grind City University engaging in eco-terrorism against Grind City Futures, a local developer.

The elders are a group of animals who Wapiti tries to convince to help Mel.

The eldests are a group of old men who look identical to one another. They serve the Wetigo until Chad kills them.

In 2010-2011 there was a miniseries of shorts that preceded the TV:

It is under development and was titled Animism: Titan Falls in 2014. The title resembles a preceding journal entry left by Declan Grey.

The Aboriginal Peoples Television Network has hosted it since 2013.

This was provided by the Bell Broadcast and New Media Fund (aka Bell Fund) along with British Columbia Film + Media, the British Columbia Film Incentive and Canada Media Fund, as well as the above-mentioned Shaw Rocket Fund.

This was online since 2012.

Part of it involved asking questions at a forum called Electric Antler, and getting news updates via Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube
