The Kaleido Crew

A team of heroes are on their way to an important mission when suddenly, they encounter their worst enemy: sugar.

Message from the OraCORE:

Thank you all so much for checking out the pilot for my first indie-animated show, that I am very passionate about: The Kaleido Crew! If you want to see more content of the Kaleido Crew, please like and subscribe to my YouTube channel to see more ideas that I have for the project.

I am happy to announce that I am attending Art Fight with five of these colorful heroes from my indie animated series for the first time this year! I even drew out character models and revamped their lores for the event.

Greetings viewers from the present past.

This message is to thank you all for supporting my work, even if it is just viewing art and providing constructive feedback.

I spent the year 2025 doing art, attending art school, doing a bit of homeschooling, playing video games, watching YouTube (especially other indie-animated shows) and experimenting with story ideas.

However, the biggest achievement that I didn’t expect to complete sooner is the test-pilot for my own indie-animated series, The Kaleido Crew.  It has been a passion project of mine that diverts from a Pixar fanfiction concept that turned into something far more original… and eventually became so personal towards me that I fought through procrastination and burnout to bring it to life towards my YouTube channel… even though I have to do it alone to do so due to lack of budgets and not knowing how to find the right animation team for the job.  I then showed it towards my beloved friends and family who support my dreams as an autistic artist, and then it gets shown in my art school’s year-end showcase.  The pilot even got at least half a thousand views and my YouTube shorts relating to the Kaleido Crew passed over a thousand views!

Although, to be honest, OraCORE Studios is supposed to be a place where I yap my OCs while speedrawing and sharing fan animatics/fanfiction online… just like other artists like PopCross Studios and Skynix.  It's because I have too many overambitious ideas that are both original and unoriginal.  However, it needs to have a clear motive, which is solely about indie-animation because I had many stories that I came up in my head that deserve to be portrayed through cartoons, which I loved as a child.

So my biggest resolution for 2026 is working on The Kaleido Crew as a fully fledged animated series, and starting an animation business.  I will write a fleshed out story for the tv-series even though it would possibly take more than a year to do so.

It looks like it will be a busy and fun filled 2026 for me.

I hope you have a wonderful 2026 as well!

And thank you so much for letting the pilot reach 475 views!

To celebrate Toy Story’s 30th Anniversary, I draw one of my OCs, Sam Boppop, from The Kaleido Crew!

Fun fact about them is that they are inspired by two Toy Story characters, Buzz Lightyear (foundational inspiration) and the Little Green Men! (With a dash of Edna Mode from The Incredibles.)

I also appreciate Toy Story since it is the first Pixar movie and CGI feature film in history, and led to other Pixar masterpieces such as WALL-E, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc and A Bugs Life (which also inspired each Kaleido Crew member as well) that shaped my childhood.
