Peter and Company: The Animated Pilot
We are working together to produce a 10-12 minute animated pilot episode for Peter & Company, with the intent of pitching it as a new animated series to major networks. The pilot will be entirely produced within this year and will be distributed for free online via Youtube once it is complete.
Starting in late March, we began a Kickstarter campaign with the intention of funding the pilot episode’s creation. Our initial budget was set to $10,000. By the time we crossed the finish line on May 21st, we managed to bring in $12,146!! Thanks to the generous donations and link sharing from the incredibly awesome readers of P&C, the project has been green-lit and is now entering production.
Follow along with the production and progress
on the pilot and animated series through the
Peter and Company Tumblr!
All pre-production artwork, character sketches, animation tests, storyboards, and other behind-the-scenes pieces will be posted to the above Tumblr account. Bookmark it or add it to your watch list if you have an account yourself, and help spread the word!
To everyone who donated to the project and helped to spread awareness of the campaign while it was going on, Whitney and I would like to thank you all once again from the bottom of our hearts. To see this pilot episode coming to fruition is more than just a dream come true. It proves to me that there are a good number of people out there who read and legitimately care about the future success of Peter & Company. In our eyes, you guys are truly some of the most awesome people in the world.

I hope they accept the pilot. I REALLY wanna hear their voices. I always wonder what voices sound like when I read comics.

Wow, thats great for you and i really do hope that it works out for you as i would love to see Peter and company on tv

Well, on one hand, I’m extremely happy that this is growing into a much larger project than you had originally intended. It’ll be amazing if one day i can watch tv and say “hey, i was into that before it became a show!” XD
One the other hand, I’m sad that I won’t get to do the voicework anymore. I do live on the east coast, but, from the company site, I’m presuming they’re up in Maryland? Yah, it’d be a bit of a hassle to get up there >.<
But yah, totally congrats, can’t wait to see how this goes!

Congratulations! Hope it is a big success. Not sure how much we might be able to donate, what with having a baby on the way, Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword coming out and only one income. Still hopeful though! =)
