The Canadians

Sportsnet / NBA

We teamed up with Sportsnet and Outsider Editorial to create THE CANADIANS - an animated series highlighting some amazing Canadian talent currently playing in the NBA. Every episode showcases a different Canadian alongside a fun & memorable story. This has been a dream project for us, as we not only get the chance to flex some of our storytelling chops, but also get to design and animate fun & quirky versions of some our favourite NBA personalities. These are the first 3 episodes that have been airing during halftime of Sportsnet NBA game broadcast as well as online on Sportsnet.ca  We are currently in production on 3 more episodes to round out this first season.
