Hollywood’s secret weapon is an independent animation studio called Titmouse

Titmouse is a little-known powerhouse in the entertainment industry, working with almost every major Hollywood studio to create unique and diverse animation.

As mainstream theatrical animation is digging itself out of a rut and facing the looming threat of artificial intelligence, Titmouse — which is set to celebrate its 25th anniversary next year — is hitting its stride. "The Prynoskis made this courageous business decision for no reason other than the fact that they could (and because nobody was buying their T‐shirts, but television and film studios kept giving them money to make cartoons)," the company's site says. Floor-to-ceiling murals take up wide swaths of the three-story building, Ghanaian-style movie posters of Titmouse projects line hallways, and each stairwell is equipped with dozens of paint markers for workers to pepper the wall with their own designs.
