The Ballad of Immortal Joe(2015)

The Ballad of Immortal Joe is the third chapter in the Beastly Bards collection, a series of animated shorts inspired by traditional cowboy ballads and Robert W. Service's northern verse. This haunted Western tale follows the tragic romance of its titular character, voiced by Canadian actor Kenneth Welsh, known for Twin Peaks and The Aviator. The film blends the rollicking spirit of classic frontier songs with a darkly poetic sensibility, creating something both whimsical and melancholic. Produced in partnership with Varipix, Immortal Joe continues the collection's playful approach to storytelling through rhyme, delivering a uniquely atmospheric take on Western mythology.
