About OddBot Inc.
OddBot Inc. is an independent animation production studio based in Glendale, California. Founded in 2006, the company creates original stories, characters and worlds for preschool, children’s and family audiences. Its work spans episodic television, streaming specials, musical shorts, commercials and series development, using both 2D digital animation and 3D/CG production.
The studio developed from producing Flash web shorts, interstitials and commercials into a full-service animation partner for broadcasters and streaming platforms. Its production capabilities cover story development, visual development, character and set design, storyboards, animatics and animation direction. Casting, voice direction, picture editing, sound design, compositing and final post-production delivery extend its involvement across the production process.
Series, specials and musical storytelling
OddBot’s Disney Junior work includes three seasons of the CG reboot of Muppet Babies, alongside Playdate with Winnie the Pooh, Kindergarten: The Musical! and Disney Junior Wonderful World of Songs. These productions reflect the studio’s work across established characters, preschool storytelling and music-led animation. Its short-form portfolio also includes Disney Junior Nursery Rhymes, Lullabies and Ready for Preschool.
For Netflix, OddBot served as the primary production company for the superhero adventure series Action Pack. For Max and Cartoonito, it produced Mo Willems’ hour-long CG musical special Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed: The Underground Rock Experience!. Other work includes Star Darlings, Doc Files and productions for PBS Kids Sprout, as well as promotional animation and branded shorts.
Production capabilities
Alongside its 2D work, OddBot uses real-time CG production methods, including Unreal Engine and Autodesk Maya. Its approach combines character-focused animation with visual development, production management and post-production capabilities suited to episodic series and standalone projects.
The studio’s entertainment relationships include Disney Junior, Netflix, Nickelodeon, Warner Bros. Discovery / Max, DreamWorks TV and PBS Kids Sprout. Across these markets, its work ranges from developing original material to producing animation around established entertainment properties.

OddBot collaborates with independent production partners to scale international production. The report identifies ICON Creative Studio’s involvement on Action Pack and Lemon Sky Studios’ collaboration on Playdate with Winnie the Pooh. These companies operate independently of OddBot.
