Quite a lot from Frederator, as you’ll see from the Deadline Hollywood article below. And enough to demand a new limited edition postcard.
Deadline Hollywood:December 3, 2019 6:00am ‘Catbug’ Animated Series In The Works From ‘Adventure Time’ Producer Frederator Studios ByDade Hayes
The company has begun shopping a Catbug series to streaming and linear networks, planning to supplement it with a social networking plan, short-form animated videos, e-books and web comics.
The title character was created by Breehn Burns and featured in the Frederator digital series Bravest Warriors, which is run by Burns. More than 25 million views and 400,000 likes have been recorded on Bravest Warriors videos starring Catbug. On TikTok, the character has garnered 135 million views, while GIFs on Giphy.com featuring Catbug have racked up 200 million loops.
In addition to Adventure Time for Cartoon Network, Frederator’s credits include Castlevania for Netflix and Bee & Puppycat for YouTube channel Cartoon Hangover. The studio was founded by Fred Seibert, an animation specialist whose early career was marked by pioneering executive posts at MTV and Nickelodeon as both networks emerged as major pop-culture forces.
I felt secure in the demagogic wisdom of my early thirties. I believed that I had already beheld true madness. The alien sequence from Life of Brian. The Great Horned Rat declaring Slaaneshmas to be “fucking dead-dead.” The whale-shaped drive-thru speaker asking a fat little luchador to chop off his own legs. Real life people actually believing homeopathy works.
Naively, I assumed myself conditioned to endure anything insane without batting an eye.
…and then I watched Bravest Warriors’ season 2 opener.
