Tootles is a pilot for a children’s animated series created and animated by Alex Amelines. Staged in a blank canvas world, Tootles’ characters create their own world as the story progresses. They are kind, curious and enjoy working together to untangle the situations in which they get themselves involved.

Words of praise:

It’s got a nice fresh look and clear character relationships
—DAVID SPROXTON, Founder Aardman Pictures—

That’s a lovely show and I am sure it will do very well [.] it deserves to go far!
–MILES BULLOUGH, INDEPENDENT MEDIA CONSULTANT. Former head of Broadcast at Aardman Pictures–

The use of very graphic style of eyes and mouth makes for easily read and very expressive characters.
–JEFF PRATT, Tutor at Academy of Interactive Entertainment and Pixar veteran–

Well thought-out expressions and timing! I think small children as well as us “old- er” kids would enjoy and be entertained by these little toy-like characters!
–BILL MATTHEWS, Director at ANIMAZSPOT Burbank, CA–

Funny and delicate. The graphic design is simple but, at the same time, bold. It follows a personal representation of the space, closer to the eye of a child.”
—CINZIA BOTTINI, Animation Director (ITALY/SINGAPORE)—

Good story and design, lively action.”
—KAJ PINDAL, Animation Director (DENMARK/CANADA)—

Fun and visually strong.”
—LARRY LOC, Animation Director (CALIFORNIA)—

Wow. Cute and really really well animated plus it has a great colour palette. It would probably screen really well on the big screen.”
