Like goats? Like cartoons? Like cartoon goats?
Features the voices of Jessica DiCicco (Adventure Time) and Adam McArthur (Star vs. The Forces of Evil)!
Got a lot of new followers this week, so I thought I’d mention this short I made with Nickelodeon back in 2013. If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out!
And now, the punchline to my summery series of Broats gifs.
If you haven’t watched the original Broats short on Nick.com, by the way, do it here!
Here’s a summer-y June & Reggie from Broats!
Watch the original short at Nick.com!
Guys, it’s UP!
After 409 days of waiting, it’s up!
Please watch this a million times. I’m going to blog a link to it every hour for the next 409 days.
No Broats last year. No Broats last month. No Broats last week. No Broats today.
Just keep waiting, Chad. Keep waiting forever.
Still waiting around for the Broats short to go online at Nick.com in March, so here's another sketch!
Did you know that Chad is voiced by Adam McArthur, who also plays Marco Diaz on Star Vs. The Forces of Evil?
Guys, we did it! All our campaigning has paid off with the reveal that Broats will be posted on the Nick website & app in...
March!
What day, specifically? Don't get greedy, guys, just appreciate this tiny victory and mark "march" your calendars (lol) for March!
Here's a teaser gif, in the meantime. Seriously, though, thanks to everyone who's been showing interest in the short! Can't wait for everyone to finally check it out!
Some BG roughs/lighting passes I made for the Broats short - additional views of Shopmerica, the outdoor mega-mall in which the broats live and run a petting zoo.
Someday this short will be up on Nick Short Toons, but who knows when.
If you want to see it sooner, reach out to Nickelodeon on their animation twitter account and #ask4broats.
Here are a couple early concept sketches I did for the Broats short.
The final full-color version was done by my wife, Teri.
Broats takes place in a giant outdoor shopping mall the size of a small town called "Shopmerica." Still waiting for the short to show up on Nickelodeon's Short Toons page, so enjoy some concept art in the meantime!
Whoa, thanks for playing along, guys! And nice use of sassy goat, babygoatsandfriends.
Keep the tweets coming if you want to see Broats!
Want to see a short Nickelodeon cartoon about goats? Who wouldn’t?
If goats and cartoons are important to you, let Nickelodeon know! They’re already releasing shorts from 2014 when Broats was made in 2013, and there’s still no official release date available. It’ll come out eventually, but why not sooner?
Let them know you want your Broats now!
Reach out to them on:
Use hashtag #ask4broats and demand to watch cartoon goats as soon as possible!
Help release the broats! And keep checking the Nick Short Toons page for it to show up!
BTW: This photo features Red Rose the goat, and was taken by izahbel. If you love goats, check out her blog!
Goat lovers and cartoon lovers, unite! Ask Nickelodeon to release Broats!
The short's been sitting on the shelf for a year, and already shorts from the following year are being released ahead of it. Let Nick know there's interest in it they might move it up on the release schedule!
Get at 'em via:
Or post about your insatiable need for Broats with the hashtag #ask4broats!
Or just hecka reblog this post, and this one. It's all equal in the eyes of Goat.
Chad, Thad and Reggie are doing it! You can, too!
A lot of people have been asking me when they can see Broats, my Nickelodeon short about goats in a mall petting zoo.
Unfortunately I can't give them an answer since Nickelodeon's release schedule is out of my hands.
But you can help!
Contact Nickelodeon at:
Ask for your right to watch a short about cartoon goats and their human pal! Seriously, if they see that people are interested they might be motivated to move it up on the release schedule.
They've already started releasing shorts from the following year (2014) when Broats was part of the 2013 batch! Clearly they don't think you have a burning need to watch cartoon goats, but I think you might disagree.
If so, let them know! Ask for Broats! #ask4broats
(btw, if you took this photo lemme know - i couldn't find the original source to credit! babygoatsandfriends wasn't' sure, either, but i found it on her blog)
Thanks for pushing my last Broats gif over 1,000 notes! (Special thanks to babygoatsandfriends!)
I wasn't planning on putting out any more gifs from the short until it's released (that last gif isn't from the short, I just made it for kicks), but I wanted to do something to thank you guys for the huge response!
So here's a brand new sneak peek gif from the upcoming Nickelodeon animated short, Broats!
Keep checking for the short to be released at Nick.com's "Short Toons" page!
(If this gets over 1,000 notes maybe I'll do something else special)
Happy holiday season, everybody!
