11-year-old “90s kid” Abby Special launches OPERATION: PULP DEFLECTION to sneak out for a late-night screening of Pulp Fiction. But Abby’s clandestine Christmas takes a turn for the infringing when Abby gets trapped in an empty mall with two bumbling crooks.
In this bonus episode, the cast of “Welcome, Freshmen” celebrates the final recording session with a virtual cast party! They talk about the process of making an animated series over the internet, what it was like to improvise around the script, and the creative collaboration between actors and writers. They also get into some voice actor tech talk and, of course, we learn the term “fluffy lungs.” Get to know the talented group of actors who brought this very special story to life.
Meet the Special family, a theater-loving, stoner couple and their three very different kids. It’s 1994, and Michael and Jennifer Special are just trying to help fund in the arts in their community, but their son Ricky is on the run from a school bully, and their daughter Zara is betting everything on a plan to start the school year as a popular girl. With a mix of ’90s nostalgia, sitcom homages, and a healthy dose of humor, “Welcome, Freshmen” will teach you the joys of scented oxygen, the perils of Crystal Pepsi, and why you should never trust a math teacher to do “creative accounting” for the arts. Equal parts funny, smart, and a little messed up, just like Everly Heights itself.
Take an exclusive sneak peek at the character designs for Very Special.
