Need a singing, dancing, photo-realistic ape? We've got you. You'll need 258 costumes made up of 100 different materials, 49 distinct hair grooms and dye jobs, 28 tattoos shaved into fur and the artists and production folk of Wētā FX to pull it off. Better Man is a biopic with a difference.
The Robbie Williams character won the 2025 VES Award for Best Animated Character in a Photoreal Feature.
