Blog:1happycats Productions (Fake Company, YTF43)

'''NOTE: As the title states, this is not a real company, and neither are most of their works listed below (although the first two listed in "Series" can be viewed on YouTube). You can add your own reasons among other edits or whatever, but please be aware that some edits may be reverted.'''

1happycats Productions was a British production company, founded in October 2011 under the name YouTube Productions.

From 2011-2013, the company produced webshows for YouTube. They began working on television shows in 2014, when they adopted their current name.

In March 2020, most of their then-ongoing works were put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a result of the company's struggle during the 2020's, they closed in January 2022, although Michael Valenti vowed that TinyTown Tales and The Dragon War Chronicles would be going under new ownership.

Not-So Happy Qualities

 * 1) Almost every single one of their works uses characters from pre-existing franchises.
 * 2) *In some cases they even add characters from other works into the mix.
 * 3) **The New Charlie and Lola Show features a living version of Hammering Holly Dolly (who originally came from the Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! episode "Dash for Dolly") as one of the main characters. Simba from The Lion King occasionally appears as a delivery man, and Jessie from mh:greatestmovies:Toy Story 2 appears in "The Holiday".
 * 4) ***The New Charlie and Lola Movie takes this further, by not only adding the latter two characters, but also adding in the Minions from mh:greatestmovies:Despicable Me as well.
 * 5) **Super Mario Bros. & Friends uses characters from other Nintendo franchises such as Link from The Legend of Zelda, however this can be justified given the show's name.
 * 6) **The Kusakabes (which uses the characters from My Neighbor Totoro) has characters from Iya Iya En as part of Mei's class. One of the girls in Satsuki's class is Kumiko from Ponyo, despite her appearance not being changed to reflect this. However, Totoro, the Catbus and the Soot Sprites only appear in flashbacks and fantasy sequences, though this was done at the request of Hayao Miyazaki himself.
 * 7) **The Great Ghibli Five mixes in characters from various Studio Ghibli films, including the five main characters themselves (Pom Poko, Porco Rosso, Taeko, Kiki and Totoro).
 * 8) Some of the characters in their shows don't act like themselves and are flanderized beyond belief and comprehension.
 * 9) *In The New Charlie and Lola Show, Lola has horrendous behavior with an extreme obsession with Gunblood and a hatred for Hammering Holly Dolly, which is absolutely nothing close to how she was portrayed in the original Charlie and Lola series.
 * 10) **This is especially prominent in the first episode "The Worst Holiday Ever", where Lola tries to hang to her death just because she hated hammock vacations. In "The Worst Holiday Ever 2", Lola wants to run away to Africa for the same reason.
 * 11) ***The New Charlie and Lola Movie is almost a complete ripoff of mh:greatestmovies:South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, as both movies involve Satan as the main antagonist.
 * 12) ****In The New Charlie and Lola Movie, there's the infamous scene where Lola rips a nasty fart. to make matters worse, her fart sounds more like someone who ate a lot of Taco Bell clogging a toilet rather than an actual fart. Let that sink in.'
 * 13) *In the first season of Pokémon Strange Journeys, Misty and May act incredibly bratty and childish, and Dawn is unable to walk or talk. This was fortunately resolved in the first movie, The Rise of Dr. Eggman.
 * 14) *Even characters created for these shows are prone to this. In the third season of Pokémon Strange Journeys, Ash and Misty have a daughter called Mash, who is just as bad, if not worse, than how Misty and May acted in the first season. The second season of Super Mario Bros. & Friends marks the debut of a Shy Guy named Abby who's pretty much this show's equivalent to Stingy from LazyTown, and Mario's grounding-obsessive and abusive mother.
 * 15) Most of their works have bizarre, stupid and/or pointless plots.
 * 16) *Almost every episode of Peppa Pig Revisited is like this. The most notable episodes include "The Sneezy Power Cut" where Emily catches a cold that causes the lights to go out (and keep in mind that she does a big sneeze near the end which somehow causes the lights to come back on and her cold to be cured), "Emily Catches a Cuckoo" where Emily acts like a cuckoo after playing in the rain, which leads her to be sent to hospital and given "warm" medicine by Dr. Di-li-li-ling, and "Painting Pancakes" where they eat pancakes with paint on top. Seriously.
 * 17) *In The New Charlie and Lola Show episode "The New TV", Lola and Hammering Holly Dolly fight over which program they want to watch, and end up causing their TV to explode. And they do this four times, with three TVs and one laptop. The episode "Who Done It?" (which involves a trial being set up to see who tied Charlie and Hammering Holly Dolly to balloons in the previous episode "The Balloon") can be easily removed and nothing would be lost, since Charlie and Hammering Holly Dolly would have already known that Lola was behind this.
 * 18) *Some episodes of Wuzzleburg Rewritten are also questionable, such as "Breakfast, Brunch and Brinner" where Wubbzy combines breakfast and dinner to create Brinner, "Magnet Madness" where Wubbzy ends up getting obsessed with magnets, "W-w-wet W-W-Wubbzy" where Wubbzy, Andy, Jack, and HooHoo wake up to a wet spot on their beds, and "Blacked Out" where a blackout occurs in Wuzzleburg causing everyone to lose consciousness.
 * 19) **The original pilot short "Not Perfecto Party" (back when the show had the original title of Walden is Stupid) is about Walden trying to destroy Wubbzy's birthday party by making the Food of Doom. He ends up blowing up the entirety of Wuzzleburg by hitting a rock after putting a cherry bomb on the Food of Doom.
 * 20) Questionable choices in terms of editing, especially in their earliest works.
 * 21) *Their first ever production, The Dangerous Video in the World, is just an edit of "Letters From Our Friends" by AbsoluteBillion.
 * 22) *Similarly, every episode of Peppa Pig Revisited is just an edit of a video by The Peppa Pig and MLP Show (at the time known as almostdone69), and some of your average YTP memes such as "Weegee" and "Over 9000" are sometimes added in. In the episode "The Tooth Fairy Clock", when Emily cries after she missed the tooth fairy for the second time, it somehow causes the entire screen to distort.
 * 23) *The New Charlie and Lola Show has some flubs that are left in. For example, there are multiple instances where one of the puppeteers' faces can be seen (which is sometimes corrected, albeit poorly), and where the camera focuses nowhere near where it is supposed to, and at one point in "The Balloon", one of the narrators incorrectly refers to Hammering Holly Dolly as Lola and is heard being corrected. In addition, the opening and ending themes are the last part of the 2 Stupid Dogs theme (even copying the "Super Secret Secret Squirrel" portion of that show's opening sequence) and "Blow Me Away" by Breaking Benjamin, the latter of which most definitely does not even come close to fitting with the premise of this show, let alone the source material, at all. Fortunately, The New Charlie and Lola Movie mostly avoids this due to its slightly better production values, but that's not saying much.
 * 24) *In "Not Perfecto Party" (which is just an edit of the Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! episode "Perfecto Party"), most of the new dialogue is just spoken in Speakonia, and music from Os Carrinhos is added in for no reason. In one scene, Wubbzy asks his friends to burp, and calls Buggy "Bugger". At the end of that short, the "WTF Boom" sound is heard just as Walden runs into the rock.

Really Happy Qualities

 * 1) They did make some good shows here and there, such as Valley of the Wind, TinyTown Tales, The Kusakabes, The Dragon War Chronicles and a majority of their co-productions with Yoshi Animation Studios.
 * 2) Their movies (except for the Pokémon Strange Journeys movies) are fared better than their shows, even if some of them still have questionable plots.
 * 3) Their works can be considered so bad they're good.

Trivia

 * 1) The New Charlie and Lola Movie received a tie-in video game that plays like Temple Run based on the film for mobile devices on 12 July 2016 by Digital Eclipse and Gameloft.
