Titmouse: A Chat with Chris Prynoski

This year’s Annecy International Animation Festival wasn’t all hustle and bustle. Nestled above a quaint row of popular restaurants, one was able to find a discreet doorway leading to a calm and spacious two-floor hideaway decked out in minimalist chic with polished concrete floors and a generously stocked refrigerator. Why, yes, thank you, I will have a cold beer. Titmouse founder Chris Prynoski is an affable host, sporting a vintage Dungeons and Dragons t-shirt and signature bucket hat emblazoned with the Titmouse name stylized to look like the Budweiser logo. The sweat evaporates. No one minds that we’re late. The crowds and oppressive summer humidity of the French Alpine lakeside town quickly melt away.

Emmy Award-winning Prynoski is the president and founder of animation production company Titmouse. With offices in Los Angeles, New York and Vancouver, the studio has animated more than 35 television series to date, including DreamWorks Animation’s Captain Underpants and HOME for Netflix, Little Big Awesome for Amazon, Breadwinners for Nickelodeon, and Future Worm for Disney, as well as more adult fare such as Black Dynamite and The Venture Bros., and that number is soon expected to jump past 40 with several as-yet unannounced new shows.

The independent animation studio has also animated countless commercials, promos, main title sequences, videogame cut scenes, pilots and feature film work, including collaborating on the video game depicted in the Spike Jonze feature Her, and has released a handful VR experiences using Google’s Tilt Brush toolkit. In the past decade, Titmouse has garnered six Daytime Emmy nominations — winning two — as well as one Primetime Emmy award, 16 Annie Awards and a slew of other international accolades.
