Ask The StoryBots
In a set of shorts for Netflix, the Answer Oracle gives the lowdown on some of life's big questions.
Ask The StoryBots is a children’s TV series on Netflix that aims to inspire curiosity and educate younger audiences through engaging storytelling, with a generous helping of fun.
We had the pleasure of developing a segment of the series, in which a wise old StoryBot—the Answer Oracle—answers some of life’s biggest questions. Or at least, he gives it a go.
Why do donuts have holes?
It's showtime
Using existing storyboards, we developed three hilarious vector animated shorts covering topics from holes in donuts to how big the universe really is. So sit back and get yourself some wisdom, Bot-style!
Where do the stars go during the day?
Traditional techniques
We used a more traditional frame by frame 2D approach to the motion, with environmental shadows and rim lights to help ground the characters in the simple scenes.
How big is the universe?
Bringing our own flare
We were able to take the essence of the initial Storybot character designs and inject our own flavour, bringing our own style and charm to the three films.
