Project Update: 2026 Production Update!
Hi everyone- Milo here, happy 2026!! Hope you had a lovely holiday season :D New year, new production update!
First off- to those of you who backed The Flimpo Collection, thank you so much!!
(I know that's not everyone here, but there's a lot of overlap!) Because of your support, we successfully on-boarded our new clean-up animation team, they started last week ^^
Brief social media hiatus:
Now that we have our team, we're going to shoot for some film festival deadlines between now and mid-February. It'll be a lot of work, so we are not planning on uploading that much to our social media at this time. Don't worry, we'll be back afterwards with lots to show!
Production updates:
The episode is really taking shape now. The three of us are finishing up the rough animation, and everything we finish is being handed off to our cleanup team. We've given them a pretty solid head start, but the three of us will be doing pretty much nothing but rough animation. It's only been a week but it's so cool to see how much faster 9 people work as opposed to 3 people who are already doing all the other jobs at the same time. Who knew!!!
We also have a stop-motion segment of the episode being cooked up by Apartment D, which is looking insane already. I'm genuinely so excited to show you all footage of it once it's ready. It involves real life gummy worms and a model of a skeleton. Not elaborating any further.
And as of just a few days ago, the musical score is now complete! Patty and Zee have done a phenomenal job scoring this episode. The soundtrack has become such a cool and unique part of this project and I've genuinely started humming/listening to it on it's own. We hope you eventually do the same!
And just for fun...we'll share the track list: (Or, what we're willing to share now...that is!)

- Inland Empire

- Macaroni Gate
- Terrarium
- ███ ███ █████ (██████ █████)
- ███████
- Coronation
- ██████
We're still on track for an early 2026 completion date, mid-2026 festival run, and hopefully....a Halloween 2026 public release!
Backer Updates:
We've shipped ~95% of the packages so far! The last ~5% are not shipped out due to at least one of four reasons:
- They are international orders (usually to the EU) with specific customs requirements we want to get right to avoid paying for shipping twice
- They have been returned to sender after already being shipped out once, and need to be reassessed on a case by case basis.
- They are big, personalized packages that take time to sign and pack
- They are orders that would have been included with earlier batches but the backer turned in a late survey
Ensuring these last packages get to their destination will take additional time which we unfortunately do not have during this Jan-Feb stretch of production. Once we're done with that crunch, we'll get to the rest of the packages- we thank you all for being incredibly patient with us! And again, you don't need to pay for shipping a second time.
An addendum on backer updates for The Flimpo Collection: ChimeraBunny will be handling all shipping and fulfillment for that campaign! They've already posted an update + FAQ here, and surveys have just been sent out. They've also opened a pre-order shop, so if you'd like to add to your order last minute- you can!
Thank you all so much for your support again, we can't wait for you all to finally see the episode later this year :D
Flimp on,
-Milo, Ren, and Reid
