The Story Behind the Way Cool World Poster

June 20, 2026

Our poster is one way we share our excitement about creating a colorful world—bright, vivid, real, and with a touch of humor. It’s a comedy at heart. “We make entertainment so good, even your cat will watch.”

Way Cool World is inspired by the songs and characters of Antsy McClain, a hilarious and insightful performer whose work blends laughter with heartfelt themes of love, family, and friendship. Through his music, he brings humor that moves you without sentimentality, and that spirit helped shape the tone of our animation.

We started with drawings Antsy supplied, and after a few rounds of ideas, we settled on the final version that we later used in the storyboard. From there, the characters were transformed into 3D, and that new look sparked the idea to share the world through a poster featuring our animation stars. The same process went into each Way Cool World character, turning them into a fully realized 3D world.

The scene features Pine View Heights Trailer Park, nestled among lush green mountains. The main characters—our superstars—are lined up, ready for any challenge and always looking for a way out.

This 11×17 inch collector poster is more than artwork. It’s a snapshot of the world we’re building, and it reflects the personality, energy, and playful spirit that define Way Cool World.

A poster with a purpose

When we started developing this poster, we wanted it to do more than simply look good on a wall. We wanted it to capture the feeling of the show in one image: colorful, funny, a little offbeat, and full of character.

That meant thinking carefully about composition, mood, and storytelling. Every detail had to support the world of Way Cool World, from the setting to the character lineup to the overall sense of motion and personality.

Why this poster matters

Physical art still has a special kind of magic. A poster turns a creative idea into something tangible, something fans can see every day and connect with over time.

For us, this poster is also part of the larger journey of building Way Cool World. It helps introduce the tone of the series, gives fans a visual anchor, and creates another way to share what makes this world different.
