The 90-second ‘pilot’ has garnered over 1,000,000 views on production studio The Line’s official YouTube page alone and we can see why.

The graphics are rich and fluid – giving us Lilo and Stitch-meets-The Iron Giant vibes all in the warmth and vibrancy of our Caribbean culture. Purely brilliant!!

Story time, storyline!

Okay, so The Mighty Grand Piton follows a young, upbeat British girl, Connie, who travels to St. Lucia for her school holidays with her family.

There, as she takes in the sights and

sounds of the tropical paradise, she accidentally awakens a giant robot buried

under the Twin Piton mountains on the south of the island.

This robot seems compelled to protect St.

Lucia but his origins are mysterious.

No one knows where he came from or how long he’s been there. During the many years he’s lain dormant The Mighty Grand Piton has become nothing more than the stuff of legend.

Released in May, The Mighty Grand Piton, written and directed by Louis, has been getting rave reviews – even getting a feature on American entertainment magazine The Fader.

“The Mighty Grand Piton is the brainchild of Wesley Louis, whose parents were born in St. Lucia before moving to the UK. Connie, whose character is based on an amalgamation of Wes’s nieces and nephews, is also an embodiment of his own experience of visiting the Caribbean,” Line Animation explains on its website.
