The acclaimed animation studio Titmouse has recently launched an exclusive subscription club called Churp, designed to offer unique merchandise and animated shorts directly to fans. The project was announced during a panel at the prestigious SXSW festival, coinciding with the studio's anniversary.
Mystery and Surprise in Every Package
Subscribers to Churp will receive a monthly surprise package that will include clothing, collectibles, and products designed by Titmouse artists. Additionally, each box will contain a secret code that grants access to a private website, where specially created animated shorts for the club can be enjoyed.
A Fresh and Unrestricted Vision
Chris Prynoski, founder and president of Titmouse, describes Churp as a way to wear cartoons on your body and in your mind. Mark Brooks, a renowned artist and director at the studio, will lead the project as president and creative director. Brooks explains that the philosophy behind Churp is simple: "If it's too weird for others, we'll do it ourselves."
Animated Shorts with a Unique Touch
The launch of Churp will bring with it a variety of animated shorts that reflect Titmouse's creativity and unique style. Some of the projects to be presented include:
- Bruddies: a bloody action comedy about two best friends.
- The Mitch Owl Show: the story of an aspiring Hollywood star.
- A Million Dollar Idea: an entrepreneur living in his car with big dreams.
- How Can It Be A Do?: a parody of industrial documentaries from the 2000s.
A Creative and Collaborative Approach
The Churp project stands out for its production style inspired by analog methods, where quality and creativity take precedence over quantity. Titmouse plans to collaborate with artists and brands that share its unique and absurd approach, creating a network of creators that push content that breaks conventions.
Upcoming Launch and Expectations
Churp is expected to launch later this year, and fans who wish to be the first to join can sign up for notifications. This project promises to offer an unprecedented experience for animation lovers, combining exclusive products with innovative content from Titmouse.
