Critters and crawlers take the spotlight in the new Adult Swim SMALLS animated short Bogged Down: Under a Rock?, premiering Part 1 today (Friday, November 15) on the Adult Swim YouTube channel. Animation Magazine readers are the first to enjoy this wetlands tale, which you can watch below. Part 2 will be posted next Friday, Nov. 22.
In the 2D short, Todd the toad, Wenzel the spider and Branchesca the tree ponder what lies beneath a rock — and what awaits beneath the next rock! Voices are provided by Bob Brewster (Todd), Peter Logan (Wenzel) and Laura Bennet (Branchesca).
Bogged Down is created, written and animated by Bob Brewster (@brewstertoons) and Mike Carfora (@mikecarf), who have previously collaborated on the web shorts The Detecters and Prison Pals. The Under the Rock philosophical adventure also features music by William Sawikin, with sound balancing by Sean Porio and sound mix by Brent Busby.
