Jeff, o Panda was a cancelled spin-off of the Brazilian web-series Animatoons, created by Felipe Castanhari, originally going to air on Netflix but canceled for Castanhari's other show, Mystery Lab.
Production Information
Felipe said that the whole pilot has an animatic, but only one minute was animated, all by Birdo Studios. The script team was composed of Daniel Nascimento (lead writer), Ygor Fremo, Pirula, Israel Motta, Rob Gordon and Felipe himself. The voice actor for Jeff, was Wendel Bezera, one of the most famous voice actors in Brazil, and also the owner of UniDub, the studio used for the pilot. The full episode has Brazilian Portuguese voices, but one minute was also dubbed into English.
Castanhari shared an image of the pilot, in his Twitter banner (late 2018).[1] And Ygor Fremo shared a photo of a writing reunion at an Outback Steakhouse, in his Twitter.[2]
Known Plot
In a world of anthropomorphic animals, Jeff is a panda who's smart but also an asshole.
One day on a supermarket all the lines are full. Jeff sees a pregnant rabbit on the preferential line and angrily says "Why does she has preference only because she had sex?," and in front of her, is a raccoon without an arm/leg (not specified), and Jeff says "In the disability rank, the raccoon won". After this, the panda has an idea to create an app called "Disafy," where you call disabled people to be in the line for you. The app is a success in the beginning and even got a TV commercial but later he gets into trouble when people declare to be against it.
