We hit 15,000 followers on Instagram with our magical brand mascot @positivelypigasus 🥳
When we decided earlier this year to introduce this little flying pig to the world, we didn't appreciate just how much people would love and resonate with his character, and the positivity, love and light he brings ❤
The challenge has always been learning how we can consistently sustain an account with an animated character at the forefront - as we all know, animation takes A LOT of time! BUT, we've now been posting every single day since March 2024, and plan to keep up the momentum for as long as we possibly can (with even bigger and better things on the horizon 🤩)
So, if you'd like to know how we make pigs fly, let us know in the comments, we'd love to answer your questions and share how things work behind the scenes 😁

🎉 Taking you into the weekend...
👀 Watch ‘Growing Up’ now!
This year, +3K Animation had the pleasure of producing a 60 second hand drawn TV commercial which is now live in the US. 'Growing Up' is a wholesome story of love, family and the joy of home! Thank you to COCOON for trusting us to tell this beautiful story with visuals to match 🏡🦋✨
We'd love to know what you think 🥰

Do we have a treat in store for you!!! 🎁🎁🎁
It’s not everyday you get the chance to work on an adult comedy animation… but one that is set in 90s East-London with a jam-packed cast of British comedy heroes?? ‘Tis the stuff of dreams! ✨😍
THAMES VIEW will be airing on iPlayer and BBC3 on the 11th April, and it would mean the world to us if you can give it a watch (and leave it running on repeat 🤣), so we can get this corker of a show into production with a full series!!
Starring:
Tom Davis
Roisin Conaty
Joe Wilkinson
Laura Smyth
Alan Ford
Luke Kempner
Ambreen Razia
Jason Forbes
@plus3kstudios had the pleasure of delivering full animation production, bringing to life the awesome illustrations of show creator, @hellorobflowers 🌼😍
Huge thanks to the insanely brilliant @temper_temper_tv , director Zac Ella, and the always wonderful @nestproductionsuk 🥰💪
It is flipping hilarious, a proper nostalgia trip, and a little bit cheeky... pun intended. 🤣🍑

2025 has been challenging to say the least BUT we figured that’s why it’s even more important to celebrate all the lovely things we got to create this year…

OVER 15 MILLION GIPHY VIEWS IN 4 MONTHS! 🤯💫💗
When we started uploading Pigasus stickers to Giphy just a few weeks ago, the goal was to give people fun, magical moments to drop into their Stories or messages.
And now Pigasus has racked up over 15 million views (with 7.5 million in the last month alone)!
It’s incredible seeing our little flying pig spreading manifestation magic around the internet. No ads. No algorithms. Just genuine, organic connection.
That’s some serious word-of-mouth brand building. 🪽

My first @brandlicensingeurope was a whirlwind in 50 shades of pink 💗
@plus3kstudios was in the ultimate character brand heaven this week representing three gorgeous IP’s, each with their own heart-led missions to bring to the world.
🐽✨ @positivelypigasus - our very own manifestation mascot - Because who better to teach you to believe in yourself than a flying pig?!
💖🌱 @littlecoffeecupbook our sustainability storytelling hero, brewed with planet-positive purpose, made in partnership with the brilliant author (and my travel buddy) Hayley Slack!
🐾😻 @officialbagpuss - the iconic character we all adore. It was a total joy to be on the Bagpuss & Co stand with the magnificent @threewise.ent - We’re so proud to be supporting the upcoming digital rollout of one of the UK’s most treasured characters.
If there’s one thing I’m taking away from BLE - between the house-sized Care Bears, immersive brand worlds, and collabs of dreams - it’s this: The sky’s the limit.
And I won’t rest until there’s a giant flying pig suspended from the expo hall ceiling. 🐷💫 💕
