Doodles, a character-driven universe and next-generation entertainment company, together with Pharrell Williams, officially premiered ‘Dullsville and The Doodleverse,’ a groundbreaking animation and music experience, at an event that took place during the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) at Toronto's Design Exchange. Coi Leray, who created music for the soundtrack and lent her voice to a character featured in the animated special, joined Pharrell Williams, the Doodles team, Trippie Redd, and a room full of culture and entertainment leaders at the film’s debut.   

“After meeting with various studios, we decided to bet on ourselves and develop ‘Dullsville and The Doodleverse’ with an experience that goes way beyond a pilot or film,” said Julian Holguin, CEO of Doodles. “As one of the largest and most influential film festivals in the world, TIFF is the perfect place to debut this milestone project from Doodles.”
