What Titmouse does
Titmouse, Inc. is a privately-held, full-service animation production studio headquartered in Los Angeles, California, founded in 2000 by Chris and Shannon Prynoski. The studio employs 501-1,000 staff across offices in Los Angeles, Burbank, and Vancouver, and has produced more than 100 animated series across its 25-year history. Its production portfolio spans adult-oriented animation (Big Mouth, The Venture Bros., Metalocalypse, Legend of Vox Machina, Kevin, Strip Law, Fairfax), family and kids content (Kiff, StuGo, Motorcity, Angry Birds Mystery Island), video game IP adaptations (Among Us, Overwatch 2 x Street Fighter 6, League of Legends Trials of the Poro), and short-form work (Dua Lipa music video, The Killers music video, Duolingo branded anime series).
The studio operates a B2B professional services model, generating revenue through negotiated per-project and per-episode fees charged to major Western content commissioners including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Paramount+, Apple TV+, Hulu, Disney, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, CBS Studios, Blizzard, and Riot Games. Production is primarily 2D animation using a hybrid of hand-drawn and digital techniques, supported by proprietary workflows developed over two decades. Recent strategic moves include deepening the Critical Role partnership (Vox Machina Season 4, The Mighty Nein), securing the King of the Hill revival for Hulu, launching the Among Us animated series on Paramount+, and establishing a Seoul co-production partnership with Production Reve. The studio maintains a parallel nonprofit (Titmouse Foundation, established 2020) and runs the 5 Second Day program — an annual paid creative showcase that has produced nearly 2,000 original animated shorts since 2008. Titmouse has publicly and explicitly rejected AI tools in production workflows, positioning itself around hand-crafted animation and creative risk-taking.
