Bee and PuppyCat is an American animated television series created and written by Natasha Allegri.
A second series titled Bee and PuppyCat: Lazy in Space was produced and billed for a 2019 release on VRV, but it was delayed and leaked online in 2020.
[7] Bee is a cheerful, eccentric young woman in her early twenties who is habitually fired from menial, low-paying jobs.
She takes him in and, when he sees that she is broke and unemployed, PuppyCat teleports himself and Bee to an alternate dimension where they are given a job by TempBot, a gigantic, intelligent television screen.
Other plot elements include Bee being revealed to be a robot, her relationship with the Wizard family and their youngest Deckard, a talented chef with a crush on her who eventually attends cooking school at her behest, and Bee's curiously young landlord Cardamon struggling with his work while caring for his comatose mother Violet.
Bee and PuppyCat originated as a two-part eleven minute pilot, which was uploaded to Frederator Studios' YouTube channel Cartoon Hangover as part of Too Cool!
After gaining popularity online, Cartoon Hangover started its first Kickstarter project to fund additional episodes.
The Kickstarter started on October 15, 2013, and achieved its US$600,000 goal with six days left; by the end, it had raised $872,133, funding ten 6-minute episodes, the first of which would air in the summer of 2014.
[18] In March 2017, Frederator announced that new episodes of Bee and PuppyCat were being written, initially earmarked for release on VRV.
Seibert stepped down from his position as CEO of Frederator in August, though the company indicated that he would remain executive producer for current projects, including Bee and PuppyCat.
[44][45][failed verification] In December 2014, critic Robert Lloyd of The L.A. Times listed it as one of the best TV shows of the year.
Club favorably rated the episode "Food Farmer", which they felt did a good job expanding Bee's character.
