Plot

Cryptozookeepers try to capture a Baku, a dream-eating hybrid creature of legend, and start wondering if they should display these beasts or keep them hidden and unknown.

Featuring the voice talents of Lake Bell, Zoe Kazan, and Michael Cera, CRYPTOZOO follows cryptozookeepers through a richly-drawn hallucinatory world as they struggle to capture a Baku, a legendary dream-eating hybrid creature, and begin to wonder if they should display these rare beasts in the confines of a zoo, or if these mythical creatures should remain hidden and unknown.—Anonymous

Having dedicated themselves to the preservation of cryptids, exotic animals whose existence is unsubstantiated, cryptozoologist Lauren Gray and her conservationist mentor Joan have managed to assemble a melange of those mythical creatures from around the world. As Lauren embarks on a desperate mission to locate the dream-eating Baku, nefarious adversaries have set their sights on capturing the extraordinary beings to harness their powers for military use. Will Lauren find the rare Baku before it falls into the wrong hands?—Nick Riganas
