a cartoon studio for businesses who’d like to be looked at

Nobody stops for an ad. Everyone stops for a frog.

We make short, original cartoons for businesses — for Reels, TikTok and Shorts — that people watch on purpose, all the way to the end, sometimes twice. Your cartoon doesn’t have to be a frog. It can be a frog.

100% original characters. 0% stock footage. 1 frog (non-negotiable).

frame 01 · the work

Our clients are imaginary. Our cartoons are not.

Three sample cartoons starring nobody you know (yet). Press play. They loop forever. They do not need a break.

Pick Your Battles

for anyone who’s ever fought over the last croissant

A pigeon, a seagull and one bread roll. Feathers fly. Neither of them notices the sparrow. Pick your battles.

Don’t Make Dumb Friends

for anyone who’s ever had to call for help

One hiker goes down. The other phones for help. “Are you sure he’s dead?” He goes and makes sure. What do I do now?

Never Underestimate

for anyone who’s ever been a little too confident

A man, a tiny dog and a leash he’s very sure about. He laughs. The dog doesn’t. All that’s left is the hat.

we’ve kept it warm.

frame 02 · the process

Five steps. Zero meetings that could’ve been an email.

You tell us what you want people to notice. We do everything else. At some point you’ll be asked to say “ooh”. That’s the only homework.

  1. FR·01

    The napkin talk

    We ask about your business, your customers, and the one thing they should remember. Then we write it on an actual napkin. (Sometimes.)

  2. FR·02

    The script

    A hook in the first second, a payoff at the end, and nothing in the middle that makes thumbs twitchy.

  3. FR·03

    The characters

    We design a mascot built from your brand. You will have strong opinions about its eyebrows. That’s healthy.

  4. FR·04

    The animating

    The part where we stare at one blink for forty minutes until it’s perfect. Gary says it was worth it.

  5. FR·05

    The posting

    Sized and captioned for Reels, Shorts & TikTok. You press “post”. You take full credit. We’ll allow it.

frame 03 · why cartoons

Nobody has ever sent a friend an ad captioned “this is so you”. They send cartoons. Constantly. Usually at 2am.

Here’s the trick: cartoons don’t look like advertising, so nobody’s ad-dodging reflexes kick in. They watch. They laugh. They send it to someone. Your business sneaks in through the side door wearing a funny hat.

Funny on mute

Plenty of people scroll with the sound off — on the bus, in meetings, in the bath. Faces and movement do the talking.

Weirdly unforgettable

Nobody remembers a tagline. Everybody remembers the smug coffee cup. And then, annoyingly for them, the café.

Built to be sent

Funny gets forwarded. Every share is a free introduction to someone new, and you didn’t even have to make small talk.

frame 04 · what’s in the box

You get a cartoon. And frankly, a lot more.

You bring the business and the thing you want people to notice. We bring characters, a story and an unreasonable attention to detail. About two weeks later, you have content people watch on purpose.

I’ve seen enough. Let’s talk.
  • Original characters — designed around your brand and yours forever. Name them. Put them on mugs. We won’t tell.
  • A story with a hook — the first second does the heavy lifting. The rest of the seconds just get to have fun.
  • Your brand, cartoonified — your colours, your vibe, your slightly odd sense of humour. Especially that.
  • Platform-ready cuts — vertical, sized and captioned for Reels, Shorts & TikTok. Nobody’s head gets awkwardly cropped.
  • Covers that earn the tap — first frames and thumbnails that make people go “wait, what’s this?”

+ source files & a posting plan. No homework. We did it for you and got an A.

Everyone in the feed is fighting for three seconds of attention. We’d like to win them for you — and then make people glad they stopped. If we don’t, Gary has to sit in the corner and think about what he’s done.

frame 05 · the answers

Frequently asked, occasionally yelled.

Everything you might wonder about pricing, turnaround, character rights, and whether a cartoon works for your specific business.

How much does a custom cartoon cost?

Every cartoon is quoted transparently based on length, complexity, and whether multiple characters are needed. Drop us a quick note below or email hello@reeltoons.site and we’ll reply within one business day with a fixed quote and concept idea.

How long does the whole process take?

Around two weeks (10 to 14 business days) from kickoff to final export. We do the scripting, character design, frame-by-frame animation, and sound design. You just give us feedback and take the credit.

Do I actually own the character and copyright?

100% yes. You get full commercial ownership of the characters and animation files. You can put your mascot on coffee mugs, billboards, packaging, or future videos. We won’t charge you royalties.

Will this work for a serious or B2B business?

Honestly, those are our favourite projects. Serious industries (lawyers, insurance, software, accountants) suffer from feed fatigue more than anyone. A funny cartoon sneaks past the defences because nobody expects it.

Do you use generative AI or stock video?

Zero AI slop. Zero stock video templates. Every single character, background, line-boil stroke, and comedic beat is drawn and timed by human animators.

What platforms do the cartoons work on?

Every project comes with 9:16 vertical cuts for Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts, and 16:9 widescreen cuts for websites, presentations, and LinkedIn. Captions are burned in so the joke lands even on mute.

Go on. Tell us your thing.

What you sell, who it’s for, and what you’d love people to notice. We’ll reply with an idea, a character and where it should live. A plan, not a 47-slide pitch deck.
