Global indie Boat Rocker Studios (Dino Ranch, Danger Mouse, The Loud House) and U.S./Israel prodco The Operating Room (upcoming Hawkmaster for FOX) have teamed up to adapt Erik McCurdy’s comic strip Stuffed into an animated series.
Stuffed is inspired by the magic of childhood imagination, following the outrageous adventures of a young girl and her platoon of talking plush toys. Together, the irrepressible tot and her fuzzy friends set out on incredible journeys over the highest mountain to rescue a yeti, to the deepest ocean to solve a pirate riddle, to the outer edge of the galaxy to make contact with aliens — and occasionally to the kitchen to get cookies.
The comic launched in 2018 and has since pulled in hundreds of thousands of fans on social media, with strips rolling out on Patreon, WEBTOON, Facebook and Instagram. “It’s rare to find a project like Stuffed that has a loyal built-in following and all the elements of a show that will resonate with global audiences,” notes Bob Higgins, EVP Content, Boat Rocker Studios, Kids & Family.
