TUFF POM

Kids 6-11 2D animated comedy.

Now in development with ViacomCBS.

Tuff Pom is a character comedy which tells the story of two Pom Bros as they take over the running of their parents' corner store. The show is in the mold of Spongebob, Gumball or The Simpsons whereby slice of life character moments escalate into truly absurd comedy madness. Episodes play out in sitcom fashion and could be as simple as trying to make a pizza, selling a single item from their shop or deciding who gets to wear the “Manager” badge.

Created in a mixture of animation and live action elements (including a super cute live action Pomeranian!), Tuff Pom has a truly unique look - a little bit of that 90’s VHS, Lo-Fi flair - with graphics throughout the main show, as well as in small self-contained ad-like segments.

The series comes from Canadian creator Joel Mackenzie and originally emerged when we saw a short piece of animation that Joel submitted through Wildseed Studios animation incubator Startoon, produced in Canada with Shaw Rocket Fund.
