Tales From Pussy Willow

What's it all about

A satirical animated comedy web series set in the fictional British town of Pussy Willow, which celebrates queer, feminist and absurdist themes.

Tales From Pussy Willow is an award-winning satirical sketch show for adult audiences. It takes the form of 2 – 3 minute animated comedy episodes which each explore a different situation within the fictional British town of Pussy Willow. There is a recurring cast of characters who bring the town to life and connect the episodes, the pioneering animation style incorporates live action filming of actors' heads shot against green screen, which are then composited on animated bodies in animated worlds.

Seasons one and two have already attracted a cult following online and at festivals around the world, the series recently won Best Comedy and Best LGBTQ series at the London Short Series festival and other nominations include Best Comedy at LA's OutFest, Best LGBTQ series at Toronto WebFest and Best British Series at Pilot Light TV festival. The series has particularly been celebrated for it's representation of LGBT+ characters within animation.
