About Image

We are an independent animation studio that focuses on creating compelling stories that resonate with people. Whether it’s through humor, education, touching their hearts, or prompting deep thought, our goal is to connect with the audience. We are committed to infusing the warmth and charm of a playful beagle dog into our work, as we aim to be entertaining, approachable, and relatable. We believe that the key to outstanding animation lies in having a passionate and joyful team. The enthusiasm and creativity of our team shine through in our work, bringing joy, connection, and magic to all our projects and productions.

We understand that projects and needs can vary. Even if you’re not sure exactly what you need, we would love to discuss with you what we can do for you and the best plan of action. Feel free to contact us for a free 30-minute consultation for all of your animation needs.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to entertain audiences and bring a smile to their faces while achieving the project’s goals. Whether to inform, inspire, educate, touch hearts, or build a fanbase. We approach each task with the same level of care and enthusiasm, regardless of the size of the project.

OUR GOALS

Our aim is to bring joy to animation without relying on AI or overseas animation studios. We see AI as a useful tool, but not a replacement for artists. We closely collaborate with all the artists on our team, utilizing their strengths and passions to create the best possible product. We strive to expand our studio into various platforms and avenues, recognizing the need for animation and artwork in multiple places. Rather than depending on just one avenue, our goal is to deliver high-quality art and animation using new techniques and technology to a wide range of platforms, regardless of how the future of media evolves.

OUR FOUNDERS

Bill and Karen founded Chubby Beagle in 2018. They bring together their skills in both television and game animation to create entertaining animations on various platforms. Before starting their studio, they gained ten years of experience in animation, working for companies such as Bento Box, Warner Bros., USC, and Google.

They have now shifted their focus to developing their studio, which aims to support and empower artists in sharing their unique stories. Their goal is to establish a diverse and sustainable animation studio, producing movies, shows, music videos, YouTube content, and original intellectual property (IP).

When Bill and Karen aren’t busy with Chubby Beagle, you can find them playing video games, in the garden, and playing volleyball…badly.
