Story Studio’s mission is to inspire and educate virtual reality creators and filmmakers everywhere. As part of this mission, all Rift owners will be able to experience ‘Henry’ for free when the Rift ships in Q1 2016.
Henry the hedgehog is an original character created for virtual reality by Story Studio’s new consulting production designer Kendal Cronkhite, who designed the look of the Dreamworks Madagascar films, and Bernhard Haux, previously one of Pixar’s top character artists.
