Cool Cats (@CoolCatsGlobal) has announced the launch of The Milk Chug, an animated series that marks a significant expansion of its storytelling universe. Teaming up with the Emmy Award-winning animation studio Titmouse (Big Mouth, The Venture Bros.), the series follows the daily adventures of Blue Cat, Chugs and friends. The official trailer drops today, with the full 13-episode season premiering on September 26, exclusively on the show’s dedicated YouTube channel, @TheMilkChugShow.
“Cool Cats stands at the crossroads of entertainment and technology, where traditional storytelling meets a brand powered by new innovation. This series demonstrates the opportunities to tell stories in ways that transcend platforms, and bridge the best of Hollywood’s talent — in both Titmouse and our incredible cast — bringing fans into a fully immersive universe driven cross-platform capabilities,” said Shara Senderoff, executive producer of The Milk Chug.
“Collaborating with Titmouse on the Cool Cats universe is an absolute dream come true,” added Cool Cats founder and creator Clon.
Named after their coffee shop, The Milk Chug follows the playful and hilarious adventures of Blue Cat and his friends, a collection of characters who have procured a global fandom over the past decade by coming to life in a wide breadth of mediums and content, cementing their place in internet culture.
Today, Dana Snyder (Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Squidbillies) and Natasha Leggero (Ugly Americans, Another Period) are announced to join voice cast, which already boasts the talents of Zeno Robinson (Dragon Ball Super, The Owl House) as Blue Cat, Dan Stevens (Beauty and the Beast, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire) as Ardi and Maggie Lawson (Psych, Lethal Weapon) as Jo.
Executive producers of The Milk Chug include Clon, Senderoff, Lawson and Dylan Flinn. The series’ direction is led by Titmouse veteran Parker Simmons (creator of Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart).
“They say if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. If that’s the case, me and the team are going to jail for extreme wage theft, because making these cartoons was an absolute joy!,” said Simmons.
The Milk Chug marks a major milestone for Cool Cats, further establishing its presence as a new type of IP to enter in the entertainment landscape. The series follows the brand’s balloon debut in the 2023 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, which resulted in its sell-out of Macy’s collaborative merchandise in just 24 hours. With its global fan base continuing to grow, Cool Cats has evolved from a blue-chip digital collectible brand into a major player in storytelling and animation.
Every episode of The Milk Chug will be released on Cool Cats’ YouTube channel, ensuring free and easy access for fans worldwide. The series launch represents Cool Cats’ latest step in bridging the worlds of digital collectibles, animation and immersive storytelling.
