Gum It Up Makers

👀 Sneak Peek!

This is an early story reel/animatic for Gum It Up Makers.

Not final animation. Not final artwork. Just a look behind the curtain as we continue building the world of Poplin and the adventures of Munchy and Boo-Balu.

We're in the final days of our Kickstarter, and we're not giving up. ❤️

If you believe in original stories, creator-owned toys, and helping dreamers become makers, we'd love your support.

Every villain starts with a sketch.

Meet Queen Mildred, ruler of Poplin and enemy of every Maker brave enough to dream.

Rumors say she’s preparing a powerful spell that could change everything for Munchy and Boo-Balu… 😈

As we enter the final 8 days of our Kickstarter journey, we’re incredibly grateful for everyone who has supported us, shared our story, and believed in the world we’re building.

This adventure started with a dream, a sketchbook, and a belief that we all have the power to create. No matter what happens, we’re proud of what we’ve built together and thankful to have you along for the ride.

❤️ Thank you for being part of the adventure.

With only 8 days left, there’s still time to join the adventure and help the Makers fight back.

We got selected as a Kickstarter

When we started Gum It Up Makers, we set out to create an entirely original creator-owned world built on imagination, storytelling, and creativity.

To have Kickstarter’s editorial team recognize our project as a Project We Love is incredibly humbling.

With just 15 days left in our campaign, this recognition means the world to us.

For me personally, one of the greatest joys of this journey has been watching Danny finally share characters and stories from his own heart with the world. Being able to build this dream together has been nothing short of amazing. ❤️

Thank you to every backer, supporter, reviewer, creator, friend, and member of the toy community who has encouraged us along the way.

We’re proud of what we’ve built, grateful for what we’ve learned, and excited for what comes next.

The Makers will keep making.

People: “Are you just playing with toys?”
Me: “No, I’m creating content.” 😎📸.
Also… spot the creep and let me know when you find him. 😂👀🏰
