What is an Object Show?
Object Shows can be broadly defined as serialized shows that feature manufactured items or inanimate objects (think toys, items of furniture, household things) brought to life for comedic purposes. Typically these creations engage in humanlike conversations, interact with humans, or even develop personality quirks, often without their makers’ consent (cue winking). You could consider object shows, with some artistic liberties and interpretation, as the cousin to animation and stop-motion in their unique way.
