Real life is turned into adult animation in Kevin, a new series in development for Prime Video. The showrunner is Joe Wengert, who’s also writing the series along with executive producer Aubrey Plaza. “Loosely inspired by a real-life break-up and the cat who was caught in the middle, Kevin is all about finding where you belong in the world. After the unexpected break-up of his human ‘owners’, Kevin moves into a local pet rescue in Astoria, Queens where a chaotic band of misfit animals will help him to figure out what he really wants out of life. The series stars Jason Schwartzman (Isle of Dogs, The French Dispatch) as Kevin, a housecat who decides to try life without people, and Aubrey Plaza herself (The White Lotus, Emily the Criminal) as Dana, one half of a human couple who he leaves behind.” No word yet on when it’s set to premier, but there’s more information about the show at Animation World Network.

You’ll Enjoy Their Trolling

Listen up! Cartoon Brew just broke the news that Rebecca Sugar, creator and show-runner of the iconic Steven Universe TV series, is set to direct an upcoming animated feature film based on the world-famous Moomin comics created by Finnish author and artist Tove Jansson. The Moomin trolls and their friends have been adapted for animation numerous times over the decades, but this will be the first production created in the U.S.A. It’s all thanks to Annapurna Animation — yes, the very folks who rescued Nimona and finally brought it to Netflix. (More interesting news: Annapurna’s also hard at work on an animated adaptation of the feline video game Stray. We’ll be following that story too!) Nothing yet on the plot or voice actors, but word is that the filmmakers hope to finish in 2027.

As we have noted before, Jay Hosler is a biology professor with a special interest in bugs — or more precisely, insects. And they like to channel that interest into writing and illustrating full-color graphic novels for young readers — like their most recent creation, Ant Story. “Meet Rubi, a tiny ant with a big personality and an even bigger love for stories. Who knew the small world of her colony could be full of unexpected friendships, epic adventures, and death-defying escapes? Follow Rubi on the journey of a lifetime as she uncovers the mystery and wonder of one of the world’s tiniest, mightiest insects.” Look for it now from Harper Collins.

What Are YOU Doing In Your Spare Time…?

Recently on Cartoon Brew we stumbled across an article about a new animated short film called Forevergreen — created by Disney Story vet Jeremy Spears and Disney animator Nathan Engelhardt, literally in their off hours… along with something like 200 friends volunteering their time. A CGI film, Forevergreen is specially crafted to look like one of Jeremy Spears’ passions, wood carving. “In the film, an orphaned bear cub is taken in by a fatherly tree. As the mischievous cub grows up, his attention wanders, and a hunger for trash leads to big trouble.” The article features an interview with Jeremy, lots of behind-the-scenes development art, and a special preview clip as well.

They’re All Good Furries

Recently the annual Good Furry Awards were presented at Another Furry Con in Ontario, California. Hosted by Grubbs Grizzly (the Ask Papabear fella!), the awards celebrate individuals and groups who demonstrate “outstanding spirit in the furry community” — as selected and voted on by the furry fans themselves! This year the Good Egg Award (for charitable and volunteer work) went to Yappy Slyfox, who not only helped to create Megaplex and the Funday Pawpet Show but also performs as a puppeteer for Give Kids The World (an organization that helps out children with life-threatening illnesses). The Image Award (for presenting a positive image of the fandom through various media media) went to Digging Up Positivity, a regular video show (hosted by Thabo Meerkat) about furry fans helping out with charities around the world. The Furtastic Award (for all-around Good Furries in several categories) went to Photographotter, who went above and beyond the call of duty by offering to donate a kidney to his best friend from VR Chat, halfway around the world. (The whole story was portrayed in The Reality of Hope, an excellent documentary short directed by Joe Hunting. Look for it!) And finally, the Lifetime Achievement Award went to Ken Fletcher, co-creator of the fanzine Vootie and the Spontoon Island shared universe — and a dedicated supporter of “funny animal” art from before there was a fandom! Congratulations to all the winners and nominees! Visit the Good Furry Awards web site to find out more — and remember to vote for them again in 2026!

Things a Cat Wasn’t Meant to Know

Look, we don’t know where this came from either — but here it is! Mutant Cats, the graphic novel. “Mutant Labs is your typical science lab. They do work on rockets, gene splicing, finding cures, and you know…inter-dimensional energy type stuff. The company is currently working on their potentially biggest breakthrough yet: a renewable energy device strong enough to power an entire city block, but small enough to fit into the palm of your paw: about the size of a ball of yarn, and comprised of a powerful synthetic thread that draws power from alternate planes of existence. It’s complicated, but it works, trust us. So what’s this great innovation called? Mutant Labs are currently calling it: The Cluster. But with all great inventions, hubris is always a problem. The Mutant Labs higher-ups want the Cluster ready for market “yesterday”, forcing project leader Flux and his team of idiot geniuses to scramble and cut some corners to get it working in time for the big event. But taking shortcuts can be dangerous when you’re working with that inter-dimensional energy type stuff. With realities overlapping, we’ve now entered the Mutantverse. And let me tell you, it’s a real cluster fu@%.” What we do know is it was written by Matthew Medney and Morgan Rosenblum, with illustration by Alex Arizmendi. And it’s available now from Gungnir.

More furry graphic novels for young readers: This time it’s the Duck and Moose series by writer and artist Kirk Reedstrom. First up is Duck Moves In! “Moose loves peace and quiet, relaxing, living alone, and spring! He can’t wait for the arrival of sun, flowers, and… a new neighbor?! Duck just landed himself a new home. He loves parties, karaoke, and living with — and on — Moose’s head. Moose tries everything he can to send Duck away, but he soon finds that this persistent neighbor might just be the best thing spring could bring.” All this and more (like Moose Blasts Off!) are available now from Penguin Random House.

This Cat Cooks!

Not long ago we came across the announcement for an upcoming video game called Beastro — which if nothing else, wins some kind of pun award! But more than that, it’s an anthropomorphic game with a very unusual angle on the common fantasy tropes: “In Beastro, play as Panko, a young, talented chef, helping to run the local eatery. When Panko’s teacher goes missing, a mysterious visitor arrives with warnings of the dangers beyond the wall. It’s up to Panko to step up and take over the restaurant, farm and forage for ingredients and tend to  patrons. But that’s not all, Panko also finds himself serving the Caretakers, brave adventurers, sent to save the world. In this adventure, preserving peace starts in the kitchen! Through cooking minigames Panko will chop, sizzle and flip his way to success.” Look for it from Timberline Studios, on Steam in 2026.
