Featuring a vibrant palette and plenty of cartoony action, the show promises more than just comedy. It was developed to offer a new take on recomposed and recycled goods and provide kids with a different perspective on the value of easily discarded objects. Just because something has lost its luster doesn’t mean it has no value.

According to Dandeloo, “The essence of the series follows the heart and humor of ‘Toy Story’ with the friendship dynamics of ‘Friends.’ With character-driven stories, the series is a sharp comedy with lovable characters and unique situations. And, as misfits, they navigate life and relationships as they interact between themselves.”

In development for several years now, “Under the Sofa” was first pitched at Cartoon Forum in 2016 before being added to the official selection at El Menu Primer in Barcelona.
