About this project

 S.O.S. from the Mondo Art Department trenches!

We've had an amazing 11 year run of Happy Tree Friends, the most watched animated series on YouTube. Our cute and bloody show has garnered everything from a TV show to key-chains and everything in between.

The creator, Kenn Navarro and other malcontents within the Mondo regime, wanting to take HTF to another level, developed a spin-off series with more action, adventure and bloodshed. Thus was born "Ka-Pow!", the animation work force managed to lob a few amazing episodes over the fence to great fanfare.

The fans love the episodes and crave more, (click the thumbnails above to watch some episodes and you'll see what we mean) but we haven’t been able to feed their hunger for them any more. When we ask to make more, our oppressive overlords turn us down and tell us that there's not enough "ka-ching!" to make new episodes.

We all want more animation! We need a new way of doing things! We need our own uprising... our rebellion... our...REVOLUTION!!!

So we are putting the call out to all the fans! Stand up and be heard! Stand up and... KICKSTART THE KA-POW REVOLUTION!

Our goal is to enlist the fans to help us make a new KA-POW! episode and vote for the character they want to star in the episode.  (not to mention sending a message to the authorities about the importance of making new episodes!) 

Pledge at any level you want! Supporters of the uprising will receive various gifts as our thanks.

Pledging at the "SOLDIER" and "OFFICER" levels will enable you to vote for your favorite character. If we reach our goal, the character with the most votes gets animated!  

But wait, there's more! We'll make as many episodes as YOU want to fund! Double the goal and we'll make another episode of the second most popular character. Triple it and we'll do all three!
