There is an upcoming digital shortform service run by Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman called Quibi which will launch this coming April. The service has now announced that its chosen to greenlight a project from Justin Roiland and Stoopid Buddy Stoodios called
Gloop World.
Justin Roiland is well known amongst gamers for
Squanch Games and
Trover Saves the Universe, but the everyday person would recognize his contributions to his well known series
Rick and Morty in which he not only co-creates alongside Dan Harmon, but he also lends his voice to both titular characters. Roiland had the following to say regarding his upcoming series
Gloop World.
“Gloop World has been a dream of mine to make for almost seven years. A tactile clay animation show with a mysterious, weird and expansive world and really fun characters, fingerprints and all.
I couldn’t have done this without the folks at Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, who understood exactly what I meant when I wanted the clay animation to have an imperfect approach, where you can see the animators in the work. I want the Gloop characters to feel like you can reach into your phone and grab them yourself.”
Helping produce the new series is Stoopid Buddy Stoodios - which includes a team of John Harvatine IV, Seth Green, Eric Towner, Chris Waters, and Matthew Senreich. Director John Harvatine IV also spoke up regarding the new series, with the following to say.
“Ever since I first saw Gumby, I was fascinated with clay as a medium. Gloop World is funny, and it’s innovative, and Quibi is the perfect home for this show.”
What are your thoughts regarding this upcoming project? Are you excited to see more from Roiland or would you prefer he spends his time focusing on
Rick and Morty and his gaming commitments. Let us know in the comments below!
Gloop World is described as a clay-based stop-motion series that chronicles the absurd but strangely relatable lives of roommates Bob Roundy and Funzy, two anthropomorphic blobs who navigate the malleable suburbia and outskirts of Gloop World.
