Titmouse, Inc. (also known asTitmouse Animation or simplyTitmouse; formerly known asTitmouse Productions) is an Americananimation studio based inLos Angeles, California founded in 2000 byChris and Shannon Prynoski. The studio develops and produces animated television programs, feature films, music videos, title sequences, commercials, and short films. Its name is derived from thetitmouse, which serves as the company's mascot.

Founder and CEOChris Prynoski began working atMTV in New York on shows such asDaria,Beavis and Butt-Head, and his own creation,Downtown, which was nominated for a primetimeEmmy Award.^[3] In the early 2000s, Prynoski opened a small T-shirt company with his wife, Shannon Prynoski. However, upon getting more requests for cartoons than for T-shirts, they decided to abandon screen-printing in favor of animation. The Prynoskis moved to California, and opened the revamped Titmouse, Inc., an animation studio. Antonio Canobbio, who had worked with Chris Prynoski at MTV and both Prynoskis atCartoon Network in L.A., was hired as creative director.^[4] Titmouse opened a games division in 2009.^[5]

Due to projects like Cartoon Network'sMetalocalypse,Superjail! andThe Venture Bros.^[6][7] the company expanded and opened a sister studio in New York City in 2010.^[8] The California studio later added a wholly owned subsidiary, Robin Redbreast, which was then unionized in order to produceMotorcity forDisney XD.^[9]

The company has aYouTube channel,Rug Burn, launched in December 2012 with6 Point Harness. Rug Burn was launched with a handful of shows.^[10]

In April 2016, Titmouse released its first feature-length film, the R-ratedNerdland, which starsPaul Rudd andPatton Oswalt.^[11] Two years later, in 2018, Titmouse became the studio behind theDisney andLucasfilm YouTube series of one-minute shorts,Star Wars: Galaxy of Adventures. The series is directed by Titmouse’s Barry Kelly.^[12]

In October 2020, Titmouse Vancouver became the first animation studio in Canada to join a union. Following a vote that captured 87% of the workforce, 98% of Titmouse Vancouver's workforce voted to join the newly founded Animation GuildIATSE Local 938.^[13] In response to this, some said that the issues raised by the workers of Titmouse were the same ones heard "from unrepresented animation workers everywhere" and that the unionization of the Titmouse workers acknowledges the contributions by animation workers to the industry.^[14][15][a]

In January 2022, the employees of Titmouse New York formed a union withAnimation Guild IATSE Local 839, the first to do so outside of Los Angeles County in more than 70 years. In the card check process, Titmouse NY employees showed more than 90% of support for the organizing effort. Following the union becoming public, Titmouse management chose to voluntarily recognize the union and agreed to negotiate with the Animation Guild in good faith.^[6]
