THE PESTS'
By Simon Iliopoulos

GENRE: Animation
LOGLINE:

When newlywed interior designers purchase an old federation home and transform it into a high-tech smart home, five mischievous and quirky household Pests' embark on a mission to sabotage the central computer governed by robotics Roy (The Cleaner) & Bandit (The Cat) in an attempt to return back to their standard of living.



SYNOPSIS:

Our story is about five domestic PESTS': an overweight, lazy but brainy couch potato Cockroach, a Fly obsessed with spreading germs, a daddy long legs Spider that can't build a web, and two rock 'n' roll party animal Ants who defected from their colony because they didn't want to work anymore. Our Pests' live in an old, rundown, and untidy federation house which they share with an elderly frail couple.

When the elderly couple become ill, they leave their home of forty years and move into a nursing home. Not knowing who the new owners will be, our Pests' fear the worst. Months go by without a sale, but when newlyweds, who are interior designers, set their eyes on it, they have big plans to make some modern changes.

Over the next few months, a futuristic, self-maintenance, dust-free home takes shape, revolutionising homes of the future.

It's not long before our Pests' food chain slowly runs dry as a robot called Roy, controlled by the central main computer, is put in charge to manage the entire home, ensuring it's kept clean and tidy regularly.

Our Pests' hold a meeting to hatch out a plan to overthrow Roy and send him packing, but are faced with a bigger problem: a robot cat, Bandit, who keeps a vigil on any intruders.

Does this spell the end for our Pests', who are now at the bottom of the food chain as they live out in the open? Or will they defeat Roy and Bandit's robotic intelligence and claim back their life and home?
