Howie is a young hippo finding his way in his new city. He’s been adopted by Hilda and now he wants to share the happiness he’s found with all of his new friends!
This collection of Howie shorts consists of 20 x 1 minute, comedy episodes aimed at children aged 3-5. The series was developed and produced by Jon Rennie and animated in Moho at Cloth Cat. Howie was originally conceived of and created by the talented Michelle Robinson (The Goodnight Series) and the marvellously imaginative Fred Blunt (Captain Falsebeard).
The scripts for Howie were crafted by the award winning writer/show creator Dave Ingham (Dave Spud, Shaun the Sheep). The music for Howie was composed and produced by Emmy award-winning composer Brollyman. The project was commissioned by S4C and supported by Creative Wales.
Howie is currently available to watch on the Cloth Cat YouTube Channel! The full series is also available to watch in Welsh on S4C’s Cyw YouTube Channel. Follow the link below to watch all of the episodes now!

The programme covered the full production and post stages, whilst exploring in depth the cyclical links between each department.
We’d like to say a huge thank you to Jonathan for sharing his knowledge with our trainees this week! Jonathan Edwards has over 30 years of industry experience in Animation, VFX and Live Action. He has worked in production and studio management roles across award winning series, features, commercials and shorts in 2D digital & traditional animation.
