Nurry Brothers World is an animated sitcom by Tim Andrews, following the modern-day tale of Blake “Nuzza” Nurry, a graphic designer who inherits a run-down, out-dated and derelict theme park – staffed by a bunch of run-down, out-dated and derelict characters.
Nuzza must decide whether to cash in on selling the property or restore the park to its former glory. From the politically incorrect “Gaytime Mini Steam Train”, to the Roller Coaster Simulator on VHS – Nuzza has a whole lot of restoration work ahead of him.
Hilarious, hearty, distinctly Aussie and sometimes a little “colourful”, Nurry Brothers World is set to be the answer to Australia’s lack of primetime animated entertainment that we’ve all been waiting so long for.
The duration of the program will be 22 minutes and is due for completion by mid 2017. The pilot will be used to attract interest and funds to produce further episodes. Join our Facebook community to keep up-to-date and give input into the series.

MORE TALENT TO BE CONFIRMED!
The good news is that I already have most of the gear I need. I’m using Toon Boom Harmony for the animation, as well as my trusty Wacom Cintiq Companion. Some of the budget will go towards enhancing the recording set-up.
The funds will go towards paying all the wonderful humanoids who will be involved in this crazy-fun production. This includes voice talent, music/theme song, character designs as well as the many man-hours of animation production. Some funds will also go towards the show’s premiere screening.
$12,500 is generally not enough to make a half-hour animated show, but it’s a bare minimum that I believe can get this over the line. The show will be fantastic – no doubt – but if the goal is exceeded, then the show will benefit immensely as I can afford more time and involve more talented people. If the goal is smashed by a country mile, then we can start talkin’ Episode 2 and beyond!
Animation is gruelling, yet rewarding. While 22 minutes might not seem like a long time when you watch your favourite toons on TV, the time, skill and snacks-supply it takes to CREATE that 22 minutes is immense.
The next challenge is getting the finished show out there! One episode just won’t be enough, so the future of this series is truly unknown.
