MASHABLES are when you combine an animal with other elements to make an entirely unique, chaotic creature combination! The world of Mashables inspires the imagination, teaches real animal facts, and reminds us all that it’s okay not to fit inside one box. We are all unique creatures with a story to tell.

Say hello to MASHLANDIA!
The story of MASHLANDIA will follow Jane, a red-headed artist in overalls, and her guardian robot K00 (kay-dub). Alongside their Mashable companion Cork, a corgi mashed with a shark, Jane and her mis-mashed friends will explore the world of MASHLANDIA and document all the Mashables they find, all while avoiding the nefarious antics of Chaotica.

Jane (she/her) is our protagonist. She’s an inquisitive artist on a mission to draw and understand all the Mashables and help K00 catalogue Mashlandia's chaos. Jane is impulsive and always jumping into unruly situations, usually when trying to meet a new Mashable. She doesn’t do well with silence or being alone and loves to keep herself busy, usually with doodling. 

Cork (he/him) is a corgi mashed with a shark. He is *always* teething (sharks are constantly losing their teeth), so he is always wanting to chomp and chew on something (usually K00). Cork helps Jane and K00 navigate MASHLANDIA and occasionally goes full chaos with their CORK FRENZY, when his animal instincts completely take over.

K00 (pronounced KAY-DUB)(they/them) is a science-minded robot on a mission to collect as much data about Mashables as possible. Alongside Jane, they explore MASHLANDIA to try to catalogue the chaos. They consider themselves Jane’s guardian and are always looking out for her and trying (usually in vain) to keep her out of trouble. 

Chaotica (he/they) is our shape-shifting evil doer who’s heck-bent on causing chaos in MASHLANDIA. Chaotica and their “trusty” sidekick, Snedgie, always seem to be in our trio’s path, and it seems like they’re the ones responsible for missing Mashables. What could these two chaos groblins be up to?!

He has lent his unique vocal talents to such animated projects as X-Men 97, Invincible, Family Guy, Robot Chicken, and American Dad.

Because we have SO many Mashables that can be found in MASHLANDIA, we're excited for the opportunity to have all sorts of guest voice talent appear in the series. 

More cast members will be announced as more Stretch Goals unlock 👀

You may be asking... why do we need a crowdfunding campaign for an animated series?? Well...animation is expensive (🥲). We've spent some time talking with production companies and industry professionals, and while that world is cool, it's a lot of scariness to navigate and trust as a small business and creator. So, while we could keep grinding with the "traditional" way to make TV, we decided to follow the example of many other wonderful creators out there and do it on our own. EXCEPT...  IT WON'T REALLY BE ON OUR OWN BECAUSE IT'LL BE WITH YOU!!!

Community is something we've always cherished and tried to nurture with Meg's Mashables, so doing a crowdfunding campaign to make an animated series possible BECAUSE of our community just feels right 💕

The biggest ways you can help are:

1. JOIN THE CHAOS and pledge if you can! We've tried to include a variety of tiers and offer some rad goodies for you all to enjoy.
2. BECOME A PATRON over on Patreon! Especially after the BackerKit ends, Patreon will be the best way to continue to support us. We're also looking at creating a Patreon-exclusive webcomic, so be sure to utilize that Patreon Discount code included in all tiers! 

3. SPREAD THE CHAOS with your friends and family and tell them how awesome this is.

Because this campaign is raising money for an animated series, we still wanted to offer physical rewards and adjusted the prices to ensure most of your pledge goes to helping us create our wonderful world.

Our initial goal is set low in terms of what it will cost to make an 11-minute episode (see the Stretch Goals for more info). But with that goal, we'll be able to get one heck of a jump-start to get things moving and invest in ways to generate more revenue to get us closer to releasing an 11-minute episode FREE for folks to stream. 

We’ll keep you in the loop with how things look behind the scenes, including: writers' room updates, animation process, recording studio moments, and more!  We're also looking at other ways to bring this world to life, such as a Patreon-exclusive webcomic. 

The target funding goal of this campaign will help us cover the first phase of PRE-PRODUCTION for a pilot episode. From there, we have Stretch Goals set to help us reach other PRODUCTION and POST-PRODUCTION milestones. Animation is VERY expensive, so while this campaign might not hit the stretch goal of a full-length episode, we will still make this world come to life in other ways, such as a webcomic, shorter animation bits, or short stories.
