The Nicktoons Animation Festival is an annual event that was created by producer Fred Seibert and produced for its first three years by his Frederator Studios. Founded in 2004 to showcase the diversity of worldwide animation filmmaking, it is the largest multiplatform animation festival in North America. The festival features a selection of animated shorts from around the globe. Shorts selected for the festival have the chance to be aired on Nicktoons Network, online and to be showcased at the live event in Los Angeles in October. Several prizes are awarded each year. Animators under 18 years old are eligible to enter the Greater Creator Contest. New to the festival in 2008 is the “I Got Game” Contest in partnership with AddictingGames, and a contest for Lego filmmakers, sponsored by Lego.
The seven muffins live in the middle of the Deserted Meadow, far from the noise of the world, in the cavernous caverns of a muffins heap. The greenest in the green. Muzzle is the reddest. Titus is the yellowest. Hilda is the coolest. Valér is the blueest. Bela is the brownest. Fityirc is the grayest because ... Well, because it must be somebody! They are brave and timid, gentle and sudden in nature, multilingual and silent, clever and ... Well, they are all different. Like children (and adults, of course). Muffins loves best when nothing happens to them, they can just laze around at the top of their heap. But in vain, because most of the time their peaceful day turns into a complicated adventure! Luckily, the muffins are good friends, and together they can solve even the most jovial situations!
