EXCLUSIVE: Web3 media and entertainment firm Doodles is set to acquire transatlantic animation studio Golden Wolf.
Doodles began as a series of digital collectibles based on characters created by artist Burnt Toast in October 2021 and has built into a franchise of animation, gaming, merchandize, music and live events. It is now pushing harder into original content with the Golden Wolf acquisition.
The deal, financial terms of which were not revealed, is set to close in the next few weeks. Once complete, Golden Wolf’s team will join Doodles. Golden Wolf’s CEO and Founder Ingi Erlingsson will become Doodles’ Chief Content Officer but will continue to oversee and operate Golden Wolf’s offices in London and New York.
Furthermore, Doodles will leverage Golden Wolf’s strategic partnership with creative studio Psyop to launch a joint venture, Active Ingredient. This will aim to “reinvent storytelling and the tools used to make them a reality” using advancements in AI and blockchain technology to create tools and techniques for brands, filmmakers and producers.
As part of the deal, Psyop will invest in Doodles, which counts Pharrell Williams on its board.
Golden Wolf is known for producing ancillary content for Adult Swim animated series Rick & Morty and bills its style as “living in the space between irreverent humor, intensely dynamic action and psychedelia.” It has also made content for Disney, Illumination, Nike and Facebook among others and is pushing into longer-form original content development.
An early project will see Burnt Toast and Golden Wolf collaborate on “original narrative content” and development of the Doodles characters and story. This could encompass original series, video games and product marketing
