  1. > “It’s cool, you know, [and] it’s weird being independent,” said Chris Prynoski, co-owner of Titmouse. “I like it. It’s kind of like being a giant freelancer.”

    > Most major Hollywood studios have an in-house animation studio — sometimes more than one, in the case of Disney and Universal – but for certain projects, working with a third party is necessary. This could be because the in-house team doesn’t have the bandwidth to work on these projects or because a third party, such as Titmouse, has a special area of expertise that the studio needs.

    They have found a nice niche.

    They did the awesome Trolls psychedelic trip scene.

    > For example, Titmouse was called on by Universal to produce the 2D animation for a scene in 2023′s “Trolls Band Together” in which the trolls are briefly transported into a trippy, psychedelic world.

  2. I miss MTVs Downtown from them. It only lasted a season.

    I ended up getting official/unofficial dvds from a fan forum back in the early 2000s. Music licensing was in a grey area for that.

    Also, like the character Goat, who was in Downtown and Megas XLR.

  3. They’re certainly not a small studio. They have 700+ employees and have been working for 25 years.
