Fungies Character Designer Jess Marfisi shares her joyous production experience on the series:

"Okay I’m gonna get a lil mushy here but working on the Fungies has been my best experience working in animation by far. No to put down the other productions I’ve been on, but I didn’t think it was possible to work on a show that was so accommodating and supportive of its artists. At least on the character design side, I have never ONCE felt stressed about the scheduling, there has been nothing but endless support from my AD and production staff, and there are 0 shenanigans. I legit want this production to last forever. My mental health has been so good on this show. This show is why I have left over creative energy to work on my book. It feels good and I hope other shows can learn from our production. It’s really a special crew.

Anyway, I just wanted to point this out bc I feel like there aren’t enough testimonies from folks here on Twitter who have been on well run productions. It’s possible! Heck, at least before the pandemic hit we were weeks early in terms of deliveries and shipments!"

"I’m so very lucky I got to work on such an amazing show and with some of the most amazing board artists I know with some of the most stunning storyboards I’ve ever seen. Everytime I watched an animatic I’d download people's boards to see how they set up shots and learn off them. This crew was probably the most radical growth I’ve ever been on a show and I really thank my patient directors and my amazing board crew, storyboard artists and revisions for answering all my questions with earnest, kindness and positive energy. Thank you for an amazing year guys. You made this whole working from home pandemic thing manageable and I hope to run into everyone on shows in the future. Thanks for inspiring me as an artist. Wanting to push myself harder just so I can keep up with everyone’s hard working pace. I wish you all the best, you guys are fucking beasts. Same for design side as well. Y’all are throwing out some cinematic level backgrounds on a TV schedule like what the fuck so good. Y’all our show is so stacked with insanely skilled artists. I can’t wait for everyone to see it"
