min $100

If you invest, you're betting Pencilish Animation Studios will be worth more than $11.1M in the future

A handful of large, multi-billion-dollar companies holds all the ownership to the most beloved characters in the world. Though each of those properties was created by an artist or a small team of artists, it is the huge conglomerates that reap the benefits of the huge, worldwide publishing, merchandising, toy, and commercial licensing deals that come from those animated characters. This has been THE PATH that every brilliant TV series, feature film, and character creator has had to take — until now

With the advent of direct distribution systems (i.e. the phone in your hand), the world has turned upside down and many industries have discovered that they no longer are tied to the “gatekeepers” that want their large “piece of the pie”. Film and animated content are just starting to go down this road, but Pencilish Animation Studios will go one step further — enabling investors to be a part of creating fun, animated series and characters that they can OWN a piece of!

It is our intention to create world class IP & animation that we can produce in house or license to other great producers. Then, together, we'll deliver this content to wherever people are, YouTube, mobile phones, social media, everywhere that people consume media today. We have access to projects that are just waiting to be developed and with our key ingredient, YOU, together we can create lifelong content and characters that can entertain people for generations to come

Note how much of the profits come from merchandising (yellow)

Our team has created characters, feature films, TV series, and intellectual properties that have gone on to make MANY BILLIONS of dollars in worldwide gross box office, merchandising, and licensing for Disney and others. Our advisors include Animation Directors and executives from Disney and Fortune 500 companies

Why create animated kids' content? 3 reasons... merchandising, cross demographic appeal, and long product lifespan. Merchandising often represents a much more lucrative revenue stream than even the content production itself. Moreover, animation appeals across genres and age groups. Kids, young adults, and adults all consume animated content. Lastly, animated films and TV series last decades and are watched over and over again by kids, and later, they share their favorites with their kids

Potential to make money, see the animation development process, own up and coming intellectual property and have a say in the process!You may not have had the opportunity to invest in Disney in 1923, but you do have the opportunity to invest in Pencilish NOW! (*disclaimer* obviously we're not a billion dollar company like Disney and we may never reach their level of success, but in 1923 Disney was not a billion dollar company either)

We're looking forward to our first project with YOU and we're shooting for Q3 of 2021 to launch our first short form animated projects that we hope will turn into animated series and movies!

Additionally, Tom is currently producing a feature documentary called . And while this project is not owned or affiliated with Pencilish Studios, it does show our CEO's popularity and current projects that he is working on. This feature film documentary focuses on the industries' best and most inspirational animators, primarily spotlighting their work in the 90s and early 2000s. This fascinating look into the lives of these animators will not only bring back your childhood memories, but will also make you fall in love with 2D animation all over again. Narrated and voiced by actress Ming-Na Wen (Joy Luck Club, Agents of Shield, Voice of "Mulan"), Tom is also animating a version of her for the documentary to be released in 2021.Pencil Test
