The 💙 for Clara & the Below has been incredible and I couldn't let you start the weekend without hearing some of the amazing music we're brewing. That's right, TJ Hill, composer of #Amphibia & #TheOwlHouse is BACK. Enjoy this teasiest of teases and follow our KS page below👇

Please follow us here if you are interested in the project! Every expression of interest, every RT and post helps a TON.

we have set up a mailbox at fantasyprojectmail@gmail.com for all inquiries. We are not hiring yet but hopefully come March and in success of the Kickstarter...we will be?

I am starting a studio! We are small and scrappy and have no money. Why am I doing this? Because the only ones who can protect art are the ones who value it. Disney using AI? Yuck. Netflix buying WB? Also yuck. In 10 years what is even going to be left.

Our lovely poster was done by PVOSE with character art by me. The character designs for the Ghoul and Clara are by @remusbuznea.bsky.social. Our adorable logo animation was by Nelson Boles.

I am nervous as hell for this and am really putting myself out there. Feel free to call this "Braly's Folly" if it's a flop haha

That said I can't wait to show you more of this special project as we make our way to launching on MARCH 13.

Thank you so much.

I will also be using this project as a springboard for an independent animation studio called Fantasy Project. We are very small now but hopefully with your support we can grow to create more wonderful things.

Story: To save her bedridden ex-military father, Clara must fight the ghosts of the soldiers he killed on the battlefield in a surreal world under her house simply called the Below. She is aided by a mischievous toy nutcracker who represents her innocence and childhood.

Coming soon: Clara & the Below - episode 1 From "Amphibia" creator Matt Braly - an animated gothic horror spin on the Nutcracker full of wintery chills and somber vibes.

This will be an 100% independent production that relies on crowdfunding for its budget. Please give us a follow at our pre-launch page here to receive updates leading to our March 13th launch: www.kickstarter.com/projects/158...

I was so touched by all the kind messages I received yesterday. It has given me a lot of encouragement for what will now be a big swing:

My next animated project will be the first episode of a gothic horror interpretation of the Nutcracker called "Clara and the Below."

I watched this pretty young and for YEARS wondered what was up with Ratchet's speech during the play. I thought her guilt was all about inner demons and complex feelings about not being good enough...not literal collusion with the enemy. Great vid and thanks for adding clarity decades later haha
