Animation Studio

We are a small Dublin-based Animation Studio. In response to the COVID-19 lockdown, we created and launched a short animated series on YouTube as a way to help connect with young, preschool children during these uncertain times.

Launched on 17th April, this new mini-series created and produced by Daily Madness Productions features two little hedgehogs named Pins and Nettie. Usually, there is nothing Pins and Nettie love more than to go exploring in the suburbs where they live… but their usual adventures are now on hold. For the time being, they need to stay home.

The first episode, Together and Safe, was created to acknowledge and identify feelings of anxiety (sadness, anger, and fear) caused by the COVID-19 crisis, in a way that is suitable for the youngest of audiences. It also steps though a very simple mindfulness exercise designed to help empower children in moments of anxiety, which has been a key aspect in the development of the series.

Each week, Pins and Nettie, with their friend the Narrator, learn about a new fun thing they can play - either indoors or in their front garden. The episodes are targeted towards children under five, featuring lots of favourite games such as Simon Says, I-Spy, and Hide-n-Seek.

We are a small business and the series has been entirely self-funded with no investment or financial backers. It was incredibly important to us that the series was provided free of cost directly to our audience, and it is a very uncommon thing to do in the television industry. It would be a HUGE HELP to us as a small business to support us by simply subscribing to our YouTube channel. We need to reach a minimum of 1000 subscribers by the end of July, and we are just 200 subscribers short, so we are looking for help from our Dublin community to finally reach that target. If you have young ones at home, please take the time to show your support for this small self-funded business by subscribing to the YouTube channel… it would be greatly appreciated and make our day!

Join in the fun with Pins and Nettie every Friday, on their dedicated YouTube Channel.
