1884: Yesterday's Future is a full-length animated feature film and the brainchild of its director, Tim Ollive. The film's creative executive producer is Tim's long-time friend, mentor and boss, Terry Gilliam, who has this to say about the film, "It's an extraordinary script, the ideas are extraordinary and the design is amazing and the style is what I think is unique, with this mixture of handmade things and modern computer techniques, so it creates a texture, an ambience that is really special."
