The current digital world goes a million miles per minute, constantly evolving with new trends to keep viewers engaged. Innovation is always at the fore, seeing Good Morning Kevin step in with the right foot forward.

Created by Pixar veteran Andrew Gordon, he rewrites the social media script with new characters destined for the big screen. Gordon is renowned for animated personalities like Monsters Inc.‘s Mike Wazowski, moving forward with Good Morning Kevin. His latest venture embraces social media with an animated bear that is launched into outer space by Pete Plainer, the CEO of Kadabra and forced to create viral content through interactive missions.

Good Morning Kevin‘s aligns with Gen-Z’s social-first mindset, debuting fascinating content for the masses. Hundreds of short-form videos make up the series, voiced by TikTok‘s Jack Chalmers and featuring surprise cameos and songs all the way. Created by Pixar veteran Andrew Gordon and annimation house Passion Picures, they rewrite the social media script with new characters destined for the big screen.

Speaking on the series, Gordon said:

“During my time at Pixar, I animated some timeless characters, from bugs to monsters, from fish to superheroes, from cars to toys. In our new animated series, Good Morning Kevin, I am proud to present our hero Kevin: a bear sent into space on the orders of a tech billionaire. I have loved directing this show because it is storytelling in an entirely new format, designed for shorts on social media platforms, fusing music and animation in unprecedented ways. With the support of an ensemble of top-tier artists —f rom character designers to scriptwriters, musicians to animators — we’re harnessing real-time tech to redefine storytelling on social platforms.”
