“We thoroughly enjoyed the experience of producing the title sequence for Bottersnikes & Gumbles with the team at Mighty Nice. The concept of a 2D animated sequence for a CGI show is not new but it took some effort to convince the broadcasters involved.
It was the beautiful design and conceptual pitch from Mighty Nice that won them over. The end result is a highly detailed and intricately constructed sequence that perfectly introduces the series concept of the two warring tribes.”

Doing more
with less!
We had the 2D style of animation for the titles in mind for a number of years (start with the important decisions right?), and had always hoped Alex Grigg could direct. Alex had worked on the teaser animation and helped develop the show at initial stages. Darren also mentioned this 2D idea when he first met Desmond Digby, original illustrator of the books, he love this idea of course! During the development and pitching process Alex strove for a clean balance to the 3D-style of the episodes, while maintaining a unique style and tipping his hat to Desmond’s original designs.
It’s fantastic to have seen it through to final stages with an amazing crew onboard. It is a part of the show at large that we are incredibly proud of and turned out better than we could have hoped. We had an incredible amount of talented and driven people working on this titles sequence.
It really happened!
and the most decent human beings you’ll probably ever meet…
