Season Trailer || Mao Mao: Pure Hearted Heroes || FANMADE REVIVAL

After my failed first attempt at a Mao Mao revival I decided to start take things more seriously, in the past few months I've learned to animate using Flipaclip and drawed the characters on repeat, and after many months of improvement, I've decided to finally give this fandom what they always wanted.

I am currently on developing the lore and the script of episode 1, this series will be a full restoration of the official canceled season 2 madd by Cartoon Network based on the leaked stuff, that including storyboards and screenshots and the recently leaked "Princess Mitzi" episode that will be actually the pilot to the revival.

And with the recent rebrand of the studio, I thinm it's a new chapter for this fandom and the studio in general. Updates will be made consistently and I will keep everyone informed with the fan-revival. Also the studio just created it's own Twitter account (which is my personal account) and updates will be regulaly posted there too.

So... It's finally time for the legend to rise again, and the heart to shine brighter than ever...

All Of MM:PHH is NON-PROFIT. This is a fan project based on Cartoon Network's: Mao Mao. All rights to Mao Mao characters are too Cartoon Network, and Titmouse All original and fan-made characters are by us.

This season it's not an official revival of Mao Mao, everything seen here it's fanmade and not connected to any Mao Mao franchise right holders. The fan-project it's protected under the fair use doctrine.

The Skydance Merge Will Do Nothing To Us (sadly)

Why a Revival Is Unlikely:

• Tax Write-Offs and Purges: Mao Mao was cancelled mid-production for Season 2 and subsequently purged/removed from streaming catalogs like HBO Max in 2022 under Warner Bros. Discovery’s aggressive cost-cutting measures. Writing off or shelving a show for tax and financial restructuring purposes makes un-shelving it legally and financially complex.

• Massive Debt Load: The newly formed Skydance conglomerate is absorbing an enormous multi-billion-dollar debt load from the merger (carrying roughly $80+ billion in debt) and is actively targeting massive corporate cost reductions rather than reviving niche or legacy mid-tier animated projects.

• No Official Signals: Neither Cartoon Network, Warner Bros. Animation, nor Skydance leadership has announced any plans to revive Mao Mao, despite fan petitions and leaked behind-the-scenes materials from the abandoned second season.

• Sister Networks Do Not Equal Automatic Revivals: While Cartoon Network on Wikipedia and Nickelodeon are now sister channels under Skydance, corporate consolidation usually leads to streamlined content spending and portfolio rationalization rather than bringing back axed shows from previous regimes.

On short, we are cooked, but I have a little plan in my mind to get an official season 2...

More stuff will be revealed soon alongside the fanmade revival "Pure Hearted Heroes"

2D Rigs For Mao Mao Characters - NEED HELP

Okay, so I am doing an fanmade revival of Mao Mao called PURE HEARTED HEROES, and I am animating it using flipaclip, but there is one problem, I tried hand-drawing the characters and they looked awful, so I need help with 2D rigs of the characters, especially Mao Mao, Adorabat and Badgerclops (and other characters like Orangusnake and the villains because they are going to apear in the first 5 seconds of the revival), so I need someone who had the 2D rigs (Also SFW files and Adobe Animate files are not allowed because I use flipaclip.) for me to use. If you had them please sent a link in the comments. Thanks.

Pure Hearted Heroes (FANMADE REVIVAL) || Animation Test (I've improved?)

Okay, so I while ago I said that I would do a fanmade revival of Mao Mao if I would get an tablet because I only have an phone and I can't animate on it, well my brother decided to give his Ipad to me, so this means that developament for "Pure Heartes Heroes" will start with the making of small short animations.

This show will be animated with Flipaclip in this exact style (however it can change, I am only using Flipaclip for 2 weeks and I still learn).

Anyways, i've improved?

Potential New Mao Mao Fan-Revival? (SERIOUS UPDATE POST)

Okay, so I while ago I made an attempt at reviving my childhood cartoon Mao Mao, I tried animating it using Adobe but due to some unfortunate events regarding save-data I just raged and made the entire project with PowerPoint, which ended up looking ugly. At the time I tough that was a masterpiece and I was shocked that people started loving the project, but when I released episode 1... Yeah, I don't need to explain more, I think everyone knows what happened.

After I canceled the revival I remained inactive because for the last 2-3 months I was thinking about my Mao Mao revival, while it was bad, it could been having improvements, including the story and especially the animation, so In the last few months I started learning using FLIPACLIP and PROCREATE and I kinda started becoming good at animating, at least in the animatic style. And my wish was to give the story left unfinished by Cartoon Network and while my first attempt at a fan-series was awful (and I can even say that it was cringe, and I created it) always exists improvement.

So, I have a little announcement to make, I won't be bringing back the original revival, but instead I will make a new revival where instead of a new lore it would just be a remake of the official season 2 canceled by Cartoon Network and it would be made using the leaks, that includes some fan-episodes the fandom always wanted to see, including an episode about the Sky Pirates trying to steal the Ruby Pure Heart without Orangusnake's help and failing, the leaked Chill Out Mao Mao and Outhoused episodes while also giving the vibe that the series had in his original 2019 run.

However, I won't be making this revival now, because I don't want to risk and give everyone false hopes.

Also at the time I am writing this I only have a phone with Flipaclip (without the premium version) and I mainly use my brother's iPad with PROCREATE to make my animatics, but I only can use it in certain times because my brother lives 50 kilometers from where I live with my family.

I really want to do this revival, but I want to focus now on more original projects and small Mao Mao stuff, like fan-animatics or meme animations that will be uploaded to the Tanuki Studios channel.

And I know not everyone will believe me because of my past within this fandom, and I can understand that, the Tanuki Studios channel was never made to become a grand INDIE ANIMATION studio, it was rather made by me to archive my evolution and progress in animation, like some kind of electronic diary where I put my animations and show how much I evolve.

I don't want to seek for attention or anything like that, I only want another chance at giving the fandom what they needed the most. I am very grateful for what Parker Simmons give to us and I really want to thank the team behind the show for making my childhood better.

Lastly, I belong in the furry community. That's where a lot of my focus will be. And I want to spend more of my time over there with my wolf sona (which is also a Mao Mao OC I made).

Thank you for understanding and stay tuned for when the sun will shine again over Pure Heart Valley again.

- VanderPawsome 💜

Also, up here is a little animatic I made to show how much I progressed in terms on animation quality.

Response to the subreddit.

I will be as nice as possible in this post, but you can stop acting immature please? I am not liking where everything ended. I joined this subreddit thinking people will like my art and attempts at reviving the series, however after I uploaded episode 1 people started calling me a hypocrite and an idiot and it all went downhill since.

People started spam dislike/downvoting on everything I post, even normal Mao Mao art not related to that revival and everyone that tried to defend me also got hate, and the YouTube channel started losing subscribers in mass.

Again, I understand many of you are just doing "soft criticism", but it's just too much to downvote everything I make, even art that is not related in any way to the revival and just harassing me, telling me I destroyed your life. It's not that deep and it's not the end of the world.

You know what? This whole experience proved to me that there is an side in every community ready to attack the person who makes the smallest mistakes, a side even Parker would be dissapointed in. And all I just want is everything to stop, so please stop talking about this or making this drama bigger before it would seriously hurt someone or even worse.

Show's over. Important update.

Hello guys, I have an announcement, please listen here because this is very important.

The Legend Of Broken Heart is officially discontinued and episode 3 won't be finished. The reason for deciding that is because the show got a lot of hate and backlash, when I made this show I imaginated this as an fan-revival and I was thinking that quality does not matter, only to finish the story, however, everyone hated the show, I won't recap, but if you watched my videos for a while you may really know about the entire situation.

I tried making episode 3, and not only trying to write it was difficult, but also nobody wanted to help me with animation. I made the stupid mistake to turn the show into an "MOTION" show, something like Cap Cut and from everyone loving me and the show ended with people hating me and some even trolling me, I started to get down votes, dislikes, and even the subscriber count remained stuck at 57 subscribers for over 2 months. Also a lot of my friends who helped me with the project started to quit due to loss of interest and not focusing on one project. And adding the loss of interest you can see why I decided to cancel the revival.

And that's not only the problem, I started to go into more original stuff, I am making an furry indie series about being yourself (mainly an LGBTQ series) and I started to develop an little animated solo project called "Fuelled: Amulet Of Forever" which is an indie animated drama that is an continuation to KilledTheCat's FUELLED short made in 2021.

Also I became a furry last year and I started being into more anthro stuff, like drawing furries and being more focused on my real life rather than "doing fan-service".

I will still draw and ocasionally upload stuff related to Mao Mao like small meme animations or anniversary stuff, but I can say that the revival is canceled.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but I tried reviving this fandom and giving them what they wanted, but sometimes people are just asking for more and more and this is overwhelming and stressful for me and you all need to know that I am still 13, and an teenager can't do high-quality stuff, especially when they just started learning animation (My earliest animation projects goes back to 2023 when I still used Kinemaster on my Samsung phone as my "animation software").

Yes, I understand there was just soft criticism for me to improve, but it was taken too much to a point people started to dislike bot me and just hate me to a point I even felt that I was like the Mao Mao version of CHIMPTOPIA around here, so this is why I will cancel the series.

And I won't be abandoning the TANUKI STUDIOS channel, I WON'T delete my content like ChexNix did and I will still be a part of this fandom. Also I will still be uploading ocasionally on the TANUKI STUDIOS channel, but for now I am on a hiatus until I recover mentally not only from the hate I got around here, and also from another indie animation fandom I used to help with called "Object Show Community" where people made false acussations about me and bullied me 10 times worse than here.

Also one last thing, yes, I know I said that I wanted to use AI voices for the characters in episode 3, I didn't knew at all that Parker Simmons is very ANTI-AI, and yes, I know, using AI is really bad and you can get a lot of flag for it, I am also very ANTI-AI content and I didn't knew that even mentioning that I had toughs on using those voices can finish me, and to make one thing clear, even if episode 3 was going to be finished, I was not going to use AI voices or AI in any shape or form, sorry if I scared you guys.

And again, I am sorry for everything and I hope you guys can forgive me for all. Stay pure hearted and I hope the best for this fandom.

Again, I won't be quitting, I just want some rest if it wasn't clear, okay thx.

Need animation volunteers for Mao Mao Fan-Revival! - Mao Mao: The Legend Of The Broken Heart

As you all know, I am making a fan-revival of Mao Mao called "The Legend Of The Broken Heart" which is more of an 2-3 minutes short series that is based on the antics of the characters while also adding the lore of the original series. The first 2 episode we're made using slideshow and due to that I got a lot of backlash. So I want to make the rest of the series fully animated (excepting lip-syncing, that is static)!

So I need volunteers to animate for my revival. Flipaclip, Adobe Animate and similar programs aren't allowed. I want something like Cap Cut or Motion (I forgot full name lol :/) or something similar to those (or the one showed on the screen). In other words, the animation isn't hand-drawn and it's rather using layers and assets. Watermarks aren't allowed!

There are photos attached to show the animation method and in what program is made. You can watch this video (which is a fan-animation made by SKRBBS) to understand how it's gonna look like and how it's animated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK3_3MIBUvs

I need animations who can animate fast and can replicate (at least partially) the animation in the OG series. Let's all bring back the magic of the Pure Heart!

Fuelled: Amulet Of Forever - VOLUNTEER ANIMATORS NEEDED

WHAT IS FUELLED?

Fuelled is a critically acclaimed 2D animated short film released in December 2021 by Killedthecat Productions, a group of third-year students from Sheridan College in Canada. Directed by Emily Xu, the film is a psychological drama exploring grief, trauma, and the cyclical nature of violence through an anthropomorphic cast.

WHAT HAPPENED AFTERWARDS?

Killedthecat Productions was never a formal commercial studio. It was a temporary student collective created specifically for the 2021 Sheridan College capstone project. As a result, the group naturally dissolved after its members graduated.

WHAT IS FUELLED: THE AMULET OF FOREVER?

FUELLED: The Amulet of Forever is a fantasy mystery-adventure fan series and a direct epilogue to Fuelled.

Following her husband's death and the events at the gas station, Cathy struggles with grief and guilt. While trying to bring her husband's murderer, Doggo Katz, to justice, she meets Wolfelos, a lonely gray wolf dealing with painful experiences of his own. The two gradually become close friends and help each other move forward.

Their search for Doggo takes an unexpected turn when Cathy and Wolfelos discover an ancient diary hidden among her family's belongings, along with the mysterious Amulet of Light. The diary reveals the existence of a second relic, the Amulet of Dark, and a forgotten legend surrounding the powerful Amulet of Forever.

As Cathy and Wolfelos travel across the United Kingdom searching for Doggo and the missing amulet, they uncover secrets about Cathy's family and the origins of the relics. While Cathy learns to confront her past and live with her loss, Wolfelos gradually develops feelings for her.

With Doggo still somewhere out there and the two amulets possessing a power that could change everything, Cathy and Wolfelos must uncover the truth—and bring the man responsible for Cathy's greatest loss to justice.

WHAT WE NEED

We're looking for animators who are willing to contribute to the project voluntarily.

We're especially looking for people who:

  • Can meet agreed-upon deadlines.
  • Are comfortable working as part of a team.
  • Can replicate or closely approximate the visual style of Fuelled**.**
  • Are committed to helping bring the project to life.
  • Can animate fast, the episodes are 8-14 minutes long and our goal is to release at least 2-3 episode per year.

The original short was hand-drawn, but I want the animation of the series to be made using RIGS/ASSETS and tweening instead of the hand-drawn style from the original short.

ANIMATION SOFTWARE

Adobe Animate - animation way: RIGGING/ASSETS using tweening, not hand-drawn.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you're interested in joining the project, please contact me via Reddit.

If you want to know how to replicate the animation, here is the original short: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVzT6D-yhZg

WDYM It's cannon?

Why he is blussing like that wtf?? WTF, THE SHIP IS CANNON.

u/CrimsonSweat — 2 months ago

Why I wanted to quit.

There is also a guy named TOST67 who is constantly bullying me and making false allegations towards me. It all started when I made an object show parody that had the N word 10 times, at the time, I did not knew if this was good or bad, I know it meaned something bad, but however, I tough people would relate because I am from a very racist town from Romania and I wanted to parody that, however, TOST67 started to spam and advertise that I am controversial, he made false rumors about me being purely racist and hating black people.

He also would spam that I am controversial everywhere and he would ask every admin possible that I am racist, he even contacted the OSC Wiki team and they believed him (I am banned now). Also he repeatedly harrased ShivorrWinters to ban me from her server and when TOST67 got banned for harrasement he targeted both me and her for this.

Afterwards he would continue with these false allegations until I snapped because I went through some really hard time with my mental health at that point. My boyfriend was exposed for being actually over 20 years old and being an EDP, I would get constantly bullied and beat up at school, etc.

I resulted in an attempt to "unalive" myself and I really want to not be associated with this bait-shit community anymore and I want to remain low here, at least until I finish my already started 2 projects.

Please avoid TOST67.

Here is his channel https://www.youtube.com/@TOST67

But still, I don't want any more useless drama or harrasement, I just want closure to this thing, I am just a 13 year old kid, I didn't knew what I did was bad, so please, stop harrasing me and let's just let this in the past.

Needless to say, I am not going back to the OSC. I don't want to come back to the OSC, but I am still making an object show and I am still making object show stuff, but I don't need to be in a community to make those shows because from now I am just doing what I love.

Here is the google docs explaining more and also including screenshots and threats I got from my haters over fake drama: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Vb_TU1JoEK4voawnI1MhFHv2__2zrSNnJmasawTf2zc/edit?tab=t.0

I will keep you guys with updates, I promise <3

[partially lost] Mao Mao: Heroes Of Pure Heart - Lost Romanian Dub

Okay, so I'm from Romania, and I really wanted to watch the Romanian dub of the show. However, I can't find it anywhere online. There was a Romanian dub of the show that aired on Cartoon Network from 2020 to 2021. Sadly, the dub has become lost media, and I can't find it anywhere. There were only two websites that streamed the dub, which I'll list here. Unfortunately, the video player where the episodes were archived was shut down in 2026, resulting in the show becoming lost media. All I could find of the show we're some snippets from promos and a video showing one of the people who voice dubbed one of the characters who also showed some snippets. If anyone has any proof, recordings, or videos of the Romanian dub, please reply in the comments. I would really love to watch the episodes again in Romanian.

UPDATE: I found some video left online related to the dub who also have snippets of the episodes dubbed in Romanian.

6 years in this fandom.

So... In 2020, Apple And Onion aired the episode THE FLY in Romania, so I decided to make a rip-off of the episode as an joke because I really hated that show and episode in general, basically it was titled Cake And Pie, and it was my earliest known object shows, however, I didn't knew what an object show was until 2023. And before asking, yes, I made an pilot to Cake And Pie, yes, I lost it when I factory rebooted my phone.

In 2023, I made my first object show after I saw AnimationObjectShow's BFDI 0: THE LOST EPISODE video, it was named "Summer Island", and there was a few episodes uploaded to YouTube, however, they we're deleted, I still have them and they are very high-quality for an kid on an old phone using Kinemaster, maybe I will reupload them, what do you say?

In 2025 I found out about the OSC and joined, however, one year later I left the community after I made an object show style parody about racism which had multiple cases of N word (basically I came from a racist school in the balkans, don't be shocked), and people started playing with my mental health and made false acussations towards me, calling me pure racist when I didn't even knew what I was doing. So I left the community and internet to focus on my mental health.

In 2026, I returned to my YouTube channel and started making other content (Mainly commentary videos about controversial subjects), and I still want to be in this fandom, however, I want to remain as low as possible in this fandom. Anyways, happy birthday to me being in this (crappy) fandom!
