Los Angeles, CA - February 28, 2020 - Today, Quibi announced the greenlight of 'MICRO MAYHEM', an epic, stop-motion animation series by Stoopid Buddy Stoodios and eOne.

Executive producers for the series are Jon Favreau's Golem Creations, Seth Green, John Harvatine IV, Matthew Senreich and Chris Waters.

"Micro Mayhem brings to life the car chases I imagined as a kid, and combines my love of technology and stop-motion artistry," said Towner. We're thrilled to be teaming with Golem Creations to bring this dream project to life."
"Quibi's focus on micro storytelling provides the perfect platform for Micro Mayhem. We are excited to work with Eric and his team at Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, to bring this wild ride to audiences one turn at a time," added Greg Clayman, Senior Vice President, New Platforms and Strategic Partnerships, Film and Television at eOne.
Logline: Micro Mayhem is a series of over-the-top shorts that showcase a host of original iconic cars with as much personality as they have power. The series combines miniature filmmaking and stop-motion artistry in a wild (and comically violent) ride like no other!
