Quibi is an upcoming digital shortform service run by Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman which will see its launch this April and it has now officially announced that it has chosen to greenlight a brand new stop-motion clay-based animation series called
Gloop World.
Gloop World is from
Rick and Morty's Justin Roiland alongside Stoopid Buddy Stoodios - which includes a team of John Harvatine IV, Seth Green, Eric Towner, Chris Waters, and Matthew Senreich. Roiland, who is best known for voicing both titular characters in his series
Rick and Morty had the following to say regarding his upcoming series,
Gloop World.
“Gloop World has been a dream of mine to make for almost seven years. A tactile clay animation show with a mysterious, weird and expansive world and really fun characters, fingerprints and all.
I couldn’t have done this without the folks at Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, who understood exactly what I meant when I wanted the clay animation to have an imperfect approach, where you can see the animators in the work. I want the Gloop characters to feel like you can reach into your phone and grab them yourself.”
Stoopid Buddy Stoodios member and fellow director John Harvatine IV also spoke up regarding the new series, with the following to say.
“Ever since I first saw Gumby, I was fascinated with clay as a medium. Gloop World is funny, and it’s innovative, and Quibi is the perfect home for this show.”
What are your thoughts regarding this upcoming project? Are you excited to see more from Roiland or would you prefer he spends his time focusing on

Gloop World is described as a clay-based stop-motion series that chronicles the absurd but strangely relatable lives of roommates Bob Roundy and Funzy, two anthropomorphic blobs who navigate the malleable suburbia and outskirts of Gloop World.
