Another episode of the series Know Your Rights University is live! That stack of books was quite a challenge, but we love how it turned out. There's also a great article on Cartoon Brew about the series.  

We've been honored to animate 4 episodes of the new series, Know Your Rights University aka KYR-U for the American Civil Liberties Union! The first episode is now live on YouTube. To date, this is the largest project we've taken on at Threadwood, and we're so proud of how it turned out! Check out these articles about the project.

Threadwood's co-founder Scott got the opportunity to work on another cool stop-motion project: Smurfs! The movie is 3D but it contains a short section where the characters enter the "smurf-verse" and travel through different styles of animation. One of those styles is claymation! This sequence was shot at the awesome studio Screen Novelties in Los Angeles. Check out the clay sequence below:

Earlier this year we completed a job called "Dare You to Doctor" for CTDPH in collaboration with the agency DECKER. We were handed the scripts and sound, and we completed the stop motion production for the ad (animatic, designs, puppets, set, cinematography, edit, color). This ad has gone on to win several awards including:

​2025 Telly Awards - Silver Winner, Health & Safety
2025 Collision Awards - Silver Winner, Health & Safety
2025 Ad Club CT Awards - Gold Winner, Best in Healthcare Marketing

Pretty cool, it was a very fun project for us! Check out more of DECKER's work here. 

We had a really great time working with DECKER CT on this :30 spot for the CTDPH. DECKER provided the concept, script, sound, and overall direction while we took care of the designs, fabrication, cinematography, and animation. We love these little dogs!

We recently did a follow-up interview with Voyage LA for their series called Bold Journey. We go into some detail about what we've been up to and what we're looking forward to accomplishing with our business!

Have you seen Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio yet? Threadwood's co-founder Scott had the opportunity to animate a few shots in the film! All 3 of them involve picking something up off the ground for some reason. 

Pinocchio is now available on Netflix, check it out if you're into great movies and incredible stop-motion artistry!

The most recent episode of Magical Cat got over 1 million views on twitter! This led to a beautiful writeup on FirstShowing.net in an article titled Watch: These Adorable 'Magical Cat' Vignettes Are Delightful. It seems Magical Cat might finally be getting the attention he so desperately wants!

Cool! Our fuzzy buddy Magical Cat will be shown to viewers all around the world at the Cardiff Animation Festival, the Providence Children's Film Festival, and will be used as interstitials during the SXSW festival!
