Adult Swim Spotlights Underground Animators in Wild Fall Smalls Preview

Posted on by

Adult Swim has officially released its Fall Smalls Preview reel, offering a bizarre, high-octane sneak peek at the upcoming slate of short-form animated projects heading to digital platforms and broadcast micro-blocks. Known as one of the best launchpads for independent animators, the Adult Swim Smalls program continues to serve up experimental, unfiltered micro-series from some of the web’s most chaotic artists.

A Showcase of Independent Talent

The new preview highlights a stacked lineup of independent creators, showcasing a mix of gross-out visual humor, surreal indie aesthetics, and fast-paced web toon storytelling. The upcoming slate includes projects and micro-pilots from artists including:

  • Keith Pakiz

  • Nobey One (featuring the debut teaser for the new series P.I.S.S.)

    YouTube

  • Mike Carfora

  • Alan Steadman

  • Arius Ziaee

  • Pigeonhole Studio (Dylan Vandenberg, Coert Donohue, & Anthony Falvo)

  • Felipe Di Poi

  • No Good Ideas Inc.

The Launchpad for Modern Cult Classics

Since its inception, Adult Swim Smalls has functioned as a critical pipeline for web animators transitioning into full-fledged series greenlights.

By providing budget and broadcast placement for short-form indie visual experiments without network interference, the Smalls initiative remains one of the few mainstream avenues keeping raw, underground internet animation alive on television.

Fans can catch the full slate of new Smalls shorts rolling out across Adult Swim’s official YouTube channel, social media handles, and late-night broadcast bumps throughout the fall season.
