In a nondescript Burbank, Calif., business park, the creators of stop-motion animation house Stoopid Buddy Stoodios keep a 1970s Winnebago parked inside their offices. In keeping with the campground vibe, the company behind Adult Swim’s “Robot Chicken” gives employees merit badges and proudly displays its Buddy Code, modeled on a list of commandments found in the Winnebago. (“No. VI: Thou shalt respect the ‘bago.”)

It’s a fitting setting for a company that follows its own rules when creating animated shows. In an animation industry dominated by slick computer-generated graphics, Stoopid Buddy, founded in 2012 by Seth Green, Matt Senreich, John “Harv” Harvatine IV and Eric Towner, has built a thriving business out of its aggressively analog and irreverent style of filmmaking.

In one room, rows of puppet makers with paint-stained aprons and blades are busy shaping 6-inch superheroes, decorating villains’ heads and assembling a wildly inappropriate Jewish robot. In another building, animators were slowly filming action scenes with miniature semi trucks and a 12-foot racetrack. There are rooms for voice-over recording, 3-D printing and even a puppet hospital.

“Doing animation’s a little like going to summer camp with your friends and making stuff,” Towner said during an interview at the company’s offices. “Any time you put 200 artists together, you get a lot of personality.”
