The stakes are high for Pearl and her high-tech companion in the next episode of MechWest, the independent animated series from AnimSchool Studios. The second installment in this sci-fi Western sends our girl hero and her pet mech on the trail to the cattle drive — a perilous journey where she’ll have to hid her secret from big brother Pico while looking out for lurking bandits.

MechWest is a 3D CG action-adventure series for family audiences, set in an alternate Old West world comprised of four nations (inspired by a real-life desert cultures). Another key difference: These lands are populated by helpful automatons known as “mechs.” While most folks view the mechs as merely pieces of equipment, young Pearl West has a special affinity for the machines. When she encounters Six, an unusually intelligent mech, Pearl’s compassion may turn her dusty Western world upside down.
