![]() The most distinctive part of Pupp圜at, though, is his voice, which is very singsongy and synthesizer-y. But that means everyone thinks he’s mad, so maybe that’s why he’s so stern all the time. He’s, like, very stern, but no, he’s not mad. Speaking of eyebrows: Pupp圜at always looks so disapproving. So the fur colors are reversed and the eyebrows are wrong. I was just like, Oh, I’ll just draw it how I remember it, and I remembered it wrong. So you know the Shiba Inu? The one with the curly tail and little eyebrows over its head? Wait, what does it mean to have dog markings “backward”? I had to make him look like a dog with dog markings, but I think I got those backward. I just sat down and I - I think they came out right away! Bee got chubbier as time went on, because my style changed and I think chubby things are really cute. The first doodle was right after contacted me to pitch. What was your first doodle for the series, and when did it happen? So the word Pupp圜at came before the idea of having something that is part puppy and part cat?īut you then had to come up with visuals for Pupp圜at, of course, and for Bee. I wanted the word itself to sound cute and make you happy when you hear it. So “Pupp圜at” is, like, pretty cute sounds put together. You don’t want to put a na or a guh in there. So there are a lot of pa sounds or po sounds that have cute and short little sounds. So, when they come up with new Pokémon, they try to think of syllables that sound cute. Okay! Talk as much about anime as you like. Why call the animal “Pupp圜at”? Is there a real-life puppy or cat you based it on? People get easily excited and then become very - I don’t know what the word is, but they’re like, “ I’m going to do that, and I’m going to try to look good!” They’re not preachy, but they will treat their emotion changes very naturally. They can talk about one topic and then maybe steer it to a different direction. How is the dialogue like anime?Īt least in the anime that I watch, people talk and their conversation goes in a natural flow. I think what’s really important to me is people talking like how they talk, so when someone is stumbling through a word, that’s really, like, a special moment! A lot stuff comes from how people talk in anime. When I used to live with her, we would just walk into each other’s rooms and say that. Which of Bee’s lines have you said in real life? The dialogue in Bee and Pupp圜at is unusually, almost unsettlingly naturalistic. Cartoon Hangover will debut the first episode of the first full season of Bee and Pupp圜at tonight, and Vulture caught up with Allegri to talk about dogs, turtles, and holographic Japanese pop stars. Again, it’s hard to describe, but it’s oddly compelling.Īnd now, after more than a year of waiting, fans are finally getting what they paid for. ![]() But the pilot episodes’ true charm came in the odd dialogue, especially that of Bee, who mumbles a lot to herself and involuntarily slips into weird voices. Allegri, who was at the time working on the hit cartoon Adventure Time, crafted a two-part saga about an unemployed woman named Bee (voiced by actress Allyn Rachel) and a strange half-dog/half-cat creature she finds, thereafter known as “Pupp圜at.” Pupp圜at speaks in a strange, electronic lilt created not through voice recording but rather through a computer algorithm called a “ Vocaloid.” Pupp圜at and Bee end up going on cosmic temp jobs such as babysitting a planet-size fish named Wallace. It debuted in July of 2013 on Cartoon Hangover, a YouTube network of animated series run by a company called Frederator. It’s safe to say Allegri and her series are cult phenomena.īee and Pupp圜at is difficult to describe, which is part of its charm. Not only does that make her the sixth-most successful filmmaker on Kickstarter (bested only by Spike Lee, Zach Braff, the Veronica Mars movie, and other big names), it also makes her its most successful woman filmmaker. She raised $872,133 for her surreal animated web series, Bee and Pupp圜at. Despite having zero Hollywood clout, no major awards, and little risk of ever being described as a household name, Natasha Allegri recently made filmmaking history.
