The indie animated show of your DREAMS! ⭐️📺 Created by a team of CalArts Students
Dream Catchers is a surreal series that follows Star and TV, who are tasked with the job of traveling through people’s dreams to help them with their troubles. Join them, as they learn new things, solve problems, and make new ones!
Thank you so much to everyone watching, sharing, and commenting! Getting to actually put this out there is a dream come true (pun intended). Regardless of how far we'll be able to go with this show, it has been a huge honor and a big milestone to have Episode One completed and out there in the world!
Huge shoutout to everyone on the Dream Team, for dedicating their time and talents to this passion project! We've still got a lot of work, and a lot of plans for this show. Let's see where it goes...

This is so good!!! The fuzzy textures, the animation, the game-like essence, I can't describe it is any normal way. The most I can describe it is like waking up from a nap, which really adds to it. I love this, keep it up!!!
I loved it!! Thank you so much for making this episode, I'm excited for the next one!
CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODEEE 😋😋😋😋
This is such a beautiful video. Can't wait to see more :)
I love this first episode, and I hope to learn more about the characters in this world 👍
“Christina you’re such a person” is my new motivation
Real :>
Real
0:16 I'm an Italian-American living in Italy and there's a context that really changed this scene for me that I'm not sure will be appearing later in the story but my favorite pasta shape IS actually stars 😭it's called Pastina! They're these little tiny star-shaped pasta that you cook in chicken soup (in brodo) -- it's a very comforting thing, the kind of thing people make for you when you're sick as a kid, and a box of it also looks suspiciously similar to the sweet dreams box of cereal -- especially because of the color, spoon, the fact that it's in a bowl of liquid (milk/soup). So I thought the next line after "are there one's shaped like stars?" was legit going to be "yes" LMAO and my heart was warming up and then that "no" really threw me through a loop lmfao.
Anyone reading this, do yourself a favor, most grocery stores (in the US) actually carry Pastina -- cook 1/4 cup of dry pastina (per person) in twice as much broth (or water with a bouillon cube in it) and it's SO GOOD and SO EASY. Ideally there's also chicken, a tablespoon of olive oil, bay leaf, and then parmesan on top. Maddona mia.
This is so wonderful and there's so much to love about it -- the character designs are spectacular. I urge you to try Pastina.
I shall endeavour to find pastina now this comment has me fully convinced it's going to change everything about my life!
Needed said that too
Volevo menzionare la stessa cosa ahaha
my nana would make me pastina when i was little!!
They are literally my favourite pasta shape as well, we eat them in chicken broth here in Spain too! We just call them "estrellitas" (literally "little stars")
Christina waking up: I am the person of all time
We love the dynamic of energetic child bouncing off the walls and tired adult who wants money
I just noticed the reflections are upside down in Star’s helmet later on, that’s such a good DETAIL
what?
So glad to have worked on this!! Hope y'all enjoy this, we've got a great show planned ahead for y'all haha 🎉
Co-creator, Vis-dever, Writer, and voice of TV y'all!!! 👆👆👆
You guys did amazing!
You did an amazing jon omg 😭
"Christina, you're such a person. You're a person. You're so person, that if you were a were a person you couldn't be any more person than you are now"
Wise words
This whole show looks like it’s taking place in sensory heaven- everything just looks so soft or like it’s made out of the fluffy guts of stuffed animals
(also I love the humor & character dynamics
That was really cute, I really like the fuzzy texture it reminds me of how people have trouble remembering what they have dreamed after waking up, and VHS of course. Although I had difficulty seeing Christina the first time even with the focus on her when she was lying down. Great job!
Also LOUIE ZHONG WORKED ON THIS IVE BEEN FOLLOWING HIM since soo long, the first song on my happy playlisy is hello world ICONIC
I’d recognize that voice anywhere, lol. He sings the song in the credits.
OMG YEAH as soon as I heard the outro music I knew it was him, he's such an inspiration whenever I see his stuff ;-;
@@quoire literally me too omg
THIS COULD BE THE NEXT BEE AND PUPPYCAT I LOVED IT
I KNEW IT FELT FAMILIAR SOMEHOW I JUST COULDN'T PUT MY FINGER ON IT
@@PastelLePanda I KNOWWW
5:57 the most compliment ever
Another series that combines live action and animation? Yes please! I already love Star and TV. They’re such goobers
what's the other, if you would please?
The art style of _The Dream Catchers_ looks like one of those retro, cutesy Japanese video game box arts back in 90s/2000s, be it Playstation or Gamecube era. It captures the serene, dream-like aesthetic of the world that the characters explored.
This feels like if smiling friends was for 5 year olds and I’m all for it
i love how natural tv and stars conversations are, 'Plouse' is absolutely something me and my friends would come up with. I love the soft colours and fuzzy appearance, their houseboat really feels like something i would've had as a toy as a kid. I love how surreal and yet comforting this is. I love the voice acting. I love everything about this.
This feels like the passionate lovechild of ENA and Smiling Friends. Absolutely brilliant, has a great visual direction and color palette and really feels like it has its own identity. Love it, can't wait for more
“I can’t wait to get paid”
Perfect line to end with, I will wait for the next episode with baited breath
this deserves more recognition. wish this had more advertising or at least content from the fanbase that would attract more people
I love everything about this. It feels like the type of thing you'd find on VHS at a thrift store. I can't wait for more episodes, I can tell this is gonna get popular.
HONEY!! WAKE UP!! DREAM CATCHERS EPISODE ONE JUST DROPPED!!
love the bee and puppycat/midnight gospel vibe
Aah yes
Baby boi and Tired veteran
This was so good and fun, made me nostalgic
It is amazing to see a pilot of an animated series by a group of students! Congrats. The limited animation looks cool with the story and visuals. I hope to see more episodes :)
I love how the dreams look like a jellyfish's bell when it opens and contracts to swim
ACTUALLY ALREADY CURRENTLY EFFORTLESSLY IN LOVE WITH THIS SHOW AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THESE TWO R LITERALLY BOTH OF MY BRAINCELLS. THIS IS SO WELL DONE.
It's so cool to see Calarts students so self-motivated and make projects with such a clear artistic vision :)!! Super excited for the next ep!
These characters, visuals, and music are so charming. I love the color palette and calm music throughout, it makes it stand out nicely! Also I’m guessing that’s Louie Zong at the end, I love his music so much.
OH my GOD these fellas the silliest things on earth actually. I cannot believe how underrated this is it better blow up soon
If i was a dream catcher like them, id excel doing this stuff, firstly, i have nothing to lose if i ever meet my end as a dream cather, secondly im stealthy, and absolutely love exploring places (especially empty and quiet ones, gives me time to unwind and relax y'know) thirdly, just like tv im good at comforting people, and when they feel better pop! I just go back to my boat! Job done, lastly id some tools, possible weapons aswell it will probably aid me someway
ALSO ALSO ALSO If you ever want to include me as a background character i have a dream catcher oc, lemme describe you what he looks like
> black cat
>have a sharp ponytail on the head in between the eyes slightly above the eyes
> same as star but little bit smaller
> hand shape look like star (circle hand)
> feet also circle but cut in half (half circle)
> eye color is orange, eye pupil is pitch black like the skin
> eye pupil really big
> gray clothes with red scarf (no pants DX)
> brown backpack!!
> open minded to new ideas
> friendly
> doesn't talk too much
> favorite food is pancake, fried chicken, and raw fish
> age is 5 two year above star
You don't really have to but uhhhhh yeah :]
My new favorite indie show of all time. I can feel Bee & Puppycat energy from this, can’t wait to see more of these wacky characters & this wacky world of dreams!
Love how everything looks so textured, like you could make the characters out of felt if you were so inclined. Helps create the soft, blurry nature feeling that dreams often have!
ALSO HOLD UP did you guys seriously get thee LOUIE ZONG to make a song for you guys!!!!
it was a HUGE honor to get to work with him :)
I WAS SO HYPE WHEN I SAW THAT and the vibe matches so perfectly
I mean this in the best kind of way, but I feel like this is the best kind of show to have on, and just lay in bed and fall asleep too. I'm genuinely so excited for more episodes. I need plushies of the Star and the TV rn ❤❤❤
I saw this premiere at the CalArts Character Animation Open Show this Spring, and instantly fell in love with the concept. Such a fantastic introduction to a wonderfully creative show. Amazing job to the entire team, can’t wait to see more! :D
Thanks so much! Can't wait to show you what else we have in store :) 🌟
I can already tell I'm going to enjoy watching and re-watching this whole series
THIS WAS SO COOL? THIS NEEDS TO BE MORE POPULAR, I love how there's lots of meanings to this and somehow they are all relatable, I love these characters so much
This felt... like a dream.
And now I want myself a Familiy Size box of Sweet Dreams.
I don't even know what to feel, I just liked it.
EVERYTHING about this is AMAZING!!! From teh title card to the writing to the outro to the animation to how EVERYTHING LOOKS!! I love how realistic the conversations between T.V and Star sounds. The voice acting is on spot!! This series has SO much potential. Really my only critcism is how fast the problem was resolved. Not a BIG Critique, rather minor. Other than that, good luck with future projects!! Can't wait to see what adventures Star and Tv goes on next! ^^
I have no idea where this is going, but this show has so much promise, I hope to see it continue becuase man that animation is stunning
something about her laying there saying she was in the house, and then she just suddenly wasn't, made me emotional for some reason. Sometimes things just change, and you can't do anything about it. really cute animation :)
immediately caught the louie zong vibes not suprised to see him in the credits. very fun:))i love the multimedia approach
I just randomly got this recommended and i cant believe how underrated it is! Like this looks so well made and professional! The style and colors are so so pretty and i love the dream concept. Can’t wait to see more!!
woah this is growing way faster than i expected, deservedly!! Genuinely never been this excited over a new indie animation project
OMG this is so COOOLLLL!!! It's like a cross between Bee & Puppycat and Louie Zong I LOVE IT LOVE IT LLLOOOVVEEEEE ITTTAAAAA!!!!(good job :D)
this is too cute. Love how tv swears are bleeps
As a Christina, this is The Video of All Time
This is gonna be a new comfort show for me won’t it
The end credits are so awesome. The song and the visuals ❤ perfect
I have never EVER heard of this but I’m so happy I was recommending this because it is SUCH A BANGER!!! I love the “you’re such a person” bit ❤❤
dude wth is this feels like a fever dream and i love it
CONGRATS TO THE DREAM CATCHERS CREW!!! You guys made a great pilot and I can't wait to see what you guys cook up next!!!!
Just when I think I’m bored of watching UA-cam animations, something like this comes up. It’s inspiring!
vro this is so GOOD! i love it so much. this NEEDS more views!
ALL THE COLORS OF THIS ARE SO PLEASING... i can't want to see what happens next
This is EPIC, I love how the characters look, and the comedy in the show and overall the concept!!!
Well I’m looking forward to it ^•^
TV is a realist while Star is an optimist. This is pretty good. So much love was put into this
This style is so cute I hope this gets more popular
IT'S FINALLY OUT
CATCH EM DREAMERS CATCH EM
I’m already emotionally attached to TV
It’s giving “the adventures of bee and puppy cat” mixed with that 80’s dystopia vibe but other than that this is awesome I love it 😂🖤
This is so cool! So many cool people collaborating on this!
I really hope this blows up and all the artists get sooo much money
Aahh I'm absolutely in love with this concept! The idea of these two characters going inside people's dreams and help them solve their problems sounds so interesting! The visuals and music are so comforting but I can definitely see some more experimental animation or uncanny sequences in the future (in case nightmares and sleep paralysis are included heh)
I'm really excited to see more about this series in the future!
I'm already in love with the characters
Gods I wanna see more of this world-everything from the aesthetic to the character design screams old claymation shows. But with a ton of abstraction and banter, TV’s design is so simple and yet so expressive-and the premise is super super interesting!
Bro I’m so lucky to find this before it blows up- I love it so much!!
I love that Star's star (lol) spins when they're suprised, such great attention to detail! (ps. remember me when this gets millions of views!)
IM LOVING THIS BRO LIKE THE FORESHADOWING OF THE OLD PARTNER
STAR BEING GOOFY AND TVS SARCASM THE DYNAMIC IS AMAZING YO IMA BE HERE FOR EVERY EPISODE I WONT MISS A SINGLE ONE DAWG 😭🔥
"did they even really love you" LMAO😭😭😭😭😭
THIS IS SO COOL ALREADY! I LOVE THE STYLE PLUS LOUIE ZONG DOING THE CREDITS IS JUST THE CHERRY ON TOP OF AN ALREADY GORGEOUS CAKE VERY EXCITED TO SEE WHERE THIS GOES
I really love how human are the conversations an also the animation stile. This should get more views
Omg it feels like the jobs bee and puppycat do! Like how bizarre they are and the characters UGH I LOV IT 😍😍😍
They’re such little creatures I love them. I also love all the weird little textures, it’s very visually pleasing.
I can’t wait to watch more :9
That was... amazing... surreal... absurd! What a wonderful pilot! I sincerely hope that this series continues into the future!!! What a sincere and heartfelt jumble of existential magic!
I can definitely relate to the feelings of friendships feeling shallow even though everything seems "sitcom" perfect. When I was younger, there was just this overwhelming feeling of being alone in a room full of people. Y'all did a fantastic job expressing that feeling. And I think the lesson is true... feeling that way, just means you can look forward to finding the right friends in the future. Bad stuff always has the opportunity to change
SUCH A UNIQUE SHOW! I LOVE THE DREAMCORE VIBBEE. It’s giving the same vibe as ‘city of ghosts on Netflix’
SUPER unique and fun. Love that noisy unrendered look
This is so so cute I can imagine this being so comfortable to come back to and watch again and again, the show feels like a hug by a friend you'd forgotten u had... I love the sense of humor too it's dry and whacky and really special... The watercolor paper texture blur to indicate distance is soo nicee idk how that was achieved it just looks really great. I love the END CREDITS SO MUCHHH.. couldnt dream of a better start to this show!
I liked so much the dialogs, the on-porpous-noisy and simple rendering and the christina's world reference. What a cool concept, please keep it up!! Thanks for sharing :)
I can feel this will be my comfort show
Omg! This was so fun to watch! Great job to the crew! Yall did fantastic! Can’t wait for more episodes in the future!
AAA THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE SERIES!!! I LOVE THE DREAMCORE LOOK!!
Wow! Wow!!!!! You are all the most people of all time. You can tell this was made with so much love. It has an "instant classic" feel to it, and I can't overstate the production value. Everything feels so polished and professional, in a way that you completely don't notice it and are able to just sink into this world and go full immersion.
DREAM CATCHERS IS OUT DREAM CATCHERS IS OUT 🎉
i enjoy the character dynamic SO MUCH
Oh I love this !! The whole liminal vibe, the style, the characters, everything- so good !
Love the texture on Christina’s character design
I LOVE THIS, it’s just.. different vibes from other indie shows/animated shows I’ve watched and I LOVE IT
THIS RULES !!! Love the aesthetic choices and the dialogue writing, great job on this!
Star seems like their on the spectrum. I love it (I need to stop getting favs)
Plus I love this episode so much. Well! Time to wait for more!
i absolutely adore the style of this series, the grainy filter and lighting makes everything feel so nostalgic 😭and as a louie zong fan it's awesome that he sang the end credits!! i really want to learn how to do something like this omg..... i loved this episode, it made me laugh and lowkey TV's speech towards the end were some words that i needed to hear,,, looking forward to more for sure!!
Cant wait for peak 😤😤😤
This is absolutely fantastic! The voice acting, the animations, EVERYTHING!!! This is so good, I love these two already!!
You have no idea how invested I am in this. Such a creative concept! I love the utilization of Freud's idea that dreams are subconscious wishes. I can't wait to see what other dream theories you'll explore in future episodes!
Also really it's funny and I love the character dynamics between Star and TV
THE ART THE COLORS THE ANIMATION OMG I LOVE THIS
We will watch your future career with great interest!!!!!!!
I actually adore this so much?? the style and the peacefulness while still being funny is all executed so perfectly in a way that makes it really enjoyable to watch and doesnt feel like too much, and its making me super excited to see how this series will continue =)
it was pure luck that i stumbled upon this but im so glad i did!! i love everything about the concept and the visuals and the mood and the writing and im excited to see where this is gonna go!!
