Hybridtown (Film)

Hybridtown, the namesake of the HCU and the first major film chronologically, portrays daily life in a down-and-out city. Between economic recession and the transformation of some residents into mindless human-animal hybrids, hope has become increasingly scarce.

Summary:

The film opens with an unamed man (credited as Ponytail) rambling about how hybrids have ruined the city. However, his ramblings largely go unheard, with the only listener being a bemused human-horse hybrid. The film then interviews a pair of humans. The first human interviewed is an unamed polygamist (credited as Tree Husband) nonchalantly describing a divorce. The second citizen interviewed is a middle-aged man named Darell, who has become homeless after the recession reduced the demand for construction. Both of these men are killed by a semisentient hybrid (credited as The Pigeon). The film then interviews a sentient human-horse hybrid known as the Civil Hybrid, who explains why hybrids attack people. He describes how hybrids simply wish to eradicate sorrow, though it is unclear if he is telling the truth. The film ends with him embracing The Pigeon.
