Do you only see things in black and white? Well, dunk that Oreo cookie mindset and watch some full color animation silliness! From the man who brought you Tiny Tommy’s Night Night Tales comes a new animation short where the burbs reign supreme. Tommy Wants His Mommy was an official selection at this year’s New York Television Festival 2018 as well as a semi-finalist in the Red Arrow Pitch Competition. The short, reminiscent of Dr. Katz & The Life and Times of Tim, tells the tale of 28-year-old, loafer-type fella who’s moved back into his mother’s house. Mom would really like him to enter the exciting world of life coaching, while Tommy’s dad is occupied with his gossip blog for local men. As you you find yourself being pulling into Tommy’s suburb world of eccentric characters, you find yourself seeing milk, gravy, and plumbers in a whole new light. Enjoy Tommy Wants His Mommy!
