Produced by Animation+ Studios and executive producer Niall Madden, Toon World Express reflects the company’s commitment to original creator-led projects and providing a platform for the next generation of animated storytelling.
“Toon World Express is exactly the kind of show we built Animation+ Studios to support,” Evan Weiss, co-founder of Animation+, said. “Marc, David, and Joey represent a generation of creators who have built passionate audiences by making genuinely original work, and bringing their first series together under Cartoon Trap House felt like a natural opportunity to help elevate something special.”
“We’ve always loved creating the kind of animation that feels a little unpredictable, a little chaotic, and completely creator-driven,” Marc M said. “This show gave us the opportunity to collaborate with some of our favorite artists and comedians and build something that reflects the community we’ve been part of for years.”
Since its inception, Animation+ has focused on elevating independent animation creators and connecting their work with larger audiences. The launch of Toon World Express represents a milestone for the studio’s original programming efforts and reinforces the demand for creator-led adult animated comedy.
