27 Sep, 2025
Summary
- Genndy Tartakovsky, creator of Primal, is developing an animated film called 'The Black Knight'
- The project has been in development for 6 years, with Tartakovsky and his team working on it
- The film features a 20-foot tall knight armor controlled by a knight inside using ropes, pulleys, and levers

In a bold move, Primal creator Genndy Tartakovsky is taking his latest passion project, 'The Black Knight', directly to the people. Much like the teams behind Coyote vs. Acme and The Tiny Chef Show, Tartakovsky is turning to social media in an effort to build momentum and support for the film.
Tartakovsky has shared approximately 1 minute of test animation for 'The Black Knight', a project he and his team have been developing for the past 6 years. According to the creator, the studio they were working with liked the concept but was unsure if there was a large enough audience to warrant a theatrical release. Now, Tartakovsky is hoping to change that by rallying his fans.
The test footage showcases a massive, 20-foot tall knight armor controlled by a knight inside using ropes, pulleys, and levers. Tartakovsky has described the setting as being around the 14th century, hinting at a unique blend of medieval and mecha-inspired elements. This perfecty-timed action is a hallmark of Tartakovsky's work, and fans are already expressing their excitement and support in the comments.
As Tartakovsky takes his case to the people, the future of 'The Black Knight' remains uncertain. But with the passionate creator at the helm and a growing groundswell of fan support, the project may just have a chance to see the light of day.
