Kuiper & Huygen began as an experiment: how can we develop a fun, original IP with limited resources that is creatively satisfying? The answer came in the form of an animated cosmic odd couple navigating strange ideas through a universe we made up as we went along.

Each episode was assembled from recycled fragments of existing soundbytes repurposed as dialogue and dropped into new narrative contexts. It's a creative constraint that consistently opened unexpected wormholes.

The character designs were created with a continuous series in mind, purpose-built for scalability of efficient animation across a series of episodes without losing personality quirks.
