Snootz Animated Series

The cleverly titled "Snootz" was an animated series created by TY that ran from 2008-2009 hosted by Snootz himself. It was made to promote Beanie Babies 2.0, Beanieland, and other TY products. There was 1 season with 108 episodes in total. 108 out of 108 episodes are currently available online. The entire series is available to watch on many platforms The best one being BadEggTV! https://www.youtube.com/@BadEggTV

### History

Most episodes were originally uploaded as unlisted videos to YouTube and were then embedded on TY's homepage. On July 23rd 2021, all unlisted YouTube videos uploaded before 2017 were made private. Meaning all episodes of Snootz with the exceptions of episodes 100-108 would no longer readily available to view. Before this change was implemented, Reddit user silvermaru64 screen recorded and reuploaded all the episodes that would have been lost to YouTube. According to silvermaru64, episode 63 was not in the original playlist from TY and is therefore currently lost. The episode probably remains on TY's channel, but because it's private it will likely remain lost unless TY decides to make the video public. The episode may not ever be found, due to the fact that Marc Pasillas, director of the show itself, has stated that all flash files have been lost and none remain, until now! a channel named BadEggTV was able to archive all of the episodes! including the lost episodes. Snootz was reborn thanks to many users and BadEgg TV.

### Premise

Episodes were usually about 1-3 minutes long, and featured Snootz updating viewers on new features in Beanieland, new Beanie Babies 2.0 and going on adventures in Beanieland with his friends, the Beanie Babies 2.0. Storylines would often stretch over several episodes, these episodes usually ended on cliffhangers.

A common presence in the series was Beanieland News, or BLN, usually hosted by Chester "Chet" Fuzzington III and Fiona Honeypot. Chet and Fiona would report on the events of the episodes.

Snootz would often respond to comments or questions from viewers submitted through Talk to TY, reading their names or usernames out loud. Sometimes viewers could vote on things to happen in future episodes (Such as in episode 3, when viewers voted on which pair of pants Snootz should wear to go golfing). From there on, it became much more episodic, with the audience still getting to be involved in the story.

### Behind the Scenes

Episodes were uploaded weekly on Fridays.

According to a recent interview, one possible reason for its abrupt end was the beginning of the Beanie Boo line. Not only that, but employees slowly were let go from the company until the end of the lines run.

The series was co-wrote, storyboarded, directed and animated by Marc Pasillas and Jessica Riola. The voice actors are currently unknown, except for Snootz, who was voiced by Jessica Riola.
