Kickers are launching a new series of animated short films in association with Modern Toss.  Continuing the brand’s rebellious tradition, Kickers are partnering with writers Mick Bunnage and Jon Link, to create a suite of cartoons, all in the pair’s crude and utterly hilarious style.

Modern Toss have developed 3 strands of film themes which will appear as short skits in each of the 3 episodes that make up the Kickers presents Random Bandits series. See below for some Modern Toss classics!

The series’ 3 strands include Shoe Horn – a footwear obsessed shopper, Dave Beeline – a rowdy driver who pointblank refuses to accept the existence of any places not recognised by his sat nav, and Flytalk – the celebrity-gossiping insects.  The latter will star Slough office goon and Hollywood swashbuckler Mackenzie Crook who has long been involved with the Modern Toss camp. The films will be released in stages from April 6th. Check out www.kickers.co.uk.    

Further to the films, Modern Toss have designed their own limited edition Kick Hi boot, details about which will be available online shortly.

To celebrate the films, there is a launch party tonight at the Lock Tavern in Camden, featuring DJ sets from Hot Chip and Foals!
