Oddballs - From the YouTube series to the animated series for Netflix

The stories from the popular YouTube channel TheOdd1sOut become a real animated series for Netflix.

Oddballs is the title of the series inspired by the YouTube channel of the American cartoonist and animator Robert James Rallison, born in 1996, which has more than 18 million subscribers and hundreds of millions of views of the his ironic videos in which he himself is represented as a sort of marshmallow man.

Oddballs follows James, a bubble-shaped boy, whose observations on life fuel his comedic rants at everyday annoyances and elevates them to laughably absurd heights. Along with his best friends Max (a talking crocodile) and Echo (a girl who claims to be from the future), James’ ridiculous schemes to question norms often result in disaster.

Netflix bought the rights and brought everything to a real animated series, keeping its patterns intact and, above all, involving the author himself.

Produced by Atomic Cartoons, the series will be available on the platform from October 7.
