HITPIG!

Hitpig (Jason Sudeikis) is a clever bounty hunting pig who catches escaped animals and returns them to their owners.  His next job is his biggest yet: return a dancing elephant named Pickles (Lilly Singh) to a maniacal Vegas showman (Rainn Wilson), for a million bucks. The mission quickly escalates into a wild adventure around the world. When danger looms, it is up  to Hitpig to save the day but he can’t do it alone.
