Beanie Crew! - Pilot {BATCH 2!}
Project Overview
This is the second casting call for my pilot episode. i have already cast several amazing roles, but I still need voice actors for my remaining characters.
👉 Check out the original project here to see the progress and full show details: [https://www.castingcall.club/projects/beanie-crew-pilot]
Beanie Crew! is a high-energy, independent character-driven sitcom series centering on the hilarious, chaotic, and heartwarming lives of 40+ plush Beanie Boos and their human caretaker, whom they affectionately call Big Sister!!! Living under one roof, this massive family of dogs, cats, bunnies, and even a rogue Scottish squirrel turns everyday household moments into epic adventures. From hilarious battles for food, to absolute warfare over who gets to drive a car, this series delivers non-stop laughs, distinct personalities, and classic sitcom charm.
The Siblings: 35 core beans ranging from the strict, moral leader Marcel (MarMar) to the chaotic prankster Snicky, the sassy diva Portia (Tortilla), and the ultra-zen Noodles. They view the house as their kingdom and Big Sister as their ultimate authority!!
The Partners (Non-Siblings): The show features an extended cast of boyfriends and girlfriends who visit the house, adding extra flavor, romance, and outside perspectives to the sibling madness.
The Drama: Actions have consequences! The household rules are strictly enforced by Marcel and Big Sister. Characters who push things too far (like the entitled Pomeranian Honeycomb and her aggressive boyfriend Franklin) face the ultimate sitcom threat: getting kicked out of the crew after breaking their final strike....
Because this cast is an absolute marathon of 45 unique characters, we are looking for versatile, expressive voice actors who can bring high-energy comedic timing to life!!!!
Also, if some photos look more on the ai side, I used it to remove the tags so ty wouldn't get mad, and I used the official plush photos because I didn't want to draw 45 individual characters, otherwise i'd be here ALL year... keep in mind the animated series will be drawn and by me, no AI drawings!! Thanx!!
(Male, Frenchie): French (Charming and sophisticated)
Marcel (affectionately known as MarMar) is the soul of the Beanie Crew. A stout and serious
French Bulldog, he acts as the group’s steady anchor rather than a troublemaker. While the rest of the Crew might get swept up in the heat of the moment, Marcel is the one who keeps everyone grounded. Marcel is a lead role and part of the main five.
(Slightly exhausted but determined) "Chaos? Yes. Mischief? Occasionally. But we do things the right way. If we want that steak, we wait for Big Sister to give it to us. Now, everyone back to the couch before someone actually gets in trouble!"
"If Big Sister says we’re chilling, we’re chilling. I don't want to see any paw-to-paw combat over the remote. Let’s just enjoy the couch time as a family—without the mischief for once, okay?"
"Alright Crew, listen up! We’re heading out, but this isn't a free-for-all. We stay together, we stay quiet, and we stay honest. I don't want anyone wandering off or—I'm looking at you, Barker—trying to 'snack' on things that don't belong to us. Let's make Big Sister proud and keep it clean!"
(Female, Schnauzer): Sharp German (Very organized)
Whiskers is the lady of the duo, bringing a sweet and observant energy to the bunch. While she’s a girl, she’s often found trailing right behind her brother, Harper, keeping him in check. She’s the type of bean who loves a good nap but is always ready to stand up for her siblings if things get too crazy. she is a background character, though frequently seen and included. she is not part of the main five.
(Calmly) "You know, Harper, I can see the gears turning in your head from all the way over here. You’re thinking about joining the heist, aren't you? Just remember, Marcel is watching, and I’m the one who has to hear you complain when you get grounded. Maybe just... stay here on the rug with me?"
(With a sophisticated, steady tone) "There is a certain way to do things in this house, and running around like a pack of wild squirrels is not one of them. We are Schnauzers. We have dignity. We have beards! Let’s let the others cause the chaos while we maintain a bit of class, shall we?"
(Softly, but firmly) "I don't say much, but I see everything. If anyone thinks they can pick on the quieter beans while Marcel isn't looking, they’ll have to answer to me first. I might be calm, but I’m very, very patient when it comes to defending my family."
(Male, Schnauzer): German (Intense and precise drummer)
Harper is the second half of the Schnauzer duo and a guy who definitely has his life together. While he’s close with his sister Whiskers, a huge part of his world revolves around his girlfriend, Sadie. Because Sadie is a cocker spaniel, Harper is a total gentleman and super supportive of her, showing everyone that he’s got a big heart to match his bearded look. Harper is a background character but frequently is shown and included. Harper is not a part of the main five.
"Don't you worry, Whiskers. I know the rest of the Crew is acting like a circus right now, but I’ve got things under control. I’m staying right here to make sure no one knocks over Big Sister’s favorite vase. A Schnauzer’s gotta do what a Schnauzer’s gotta do."
(Softly and adoringly) "Hey, Sadie, don't listen to them. You look absolutely beautiful today—just like every other day. Why don't we go find a quiet spot away from all this 'steak heist' talk? I’d much rather spend my afternoon making sure you’re happy than chasing after some van."
"Alright, everyone, let's try to act like we’ve been raised with some manners! I’m with MarMar on this one—no stealing. We’re a family, not a gang of outlaws. Now, let’s all just take a deep breath, fix our fur, and act like the respectable beans I know we are."
(Female, Chiweenie): High-pitched Spanglish (Total fireball).
Zuzu is a sharp and observant Chiweenie who brings a lot of spirit to the Beanie Crew. She has a unique perspective on their adventures and is often the first one to notice the little details that others
might miss. She has a bit of a sassy streak and isn't afraid to speak her mind, but she’s also a total sweetheart who loves being right in the middle of the family action.
"Oh, please. You guys think you're being so sneaky about that steak van, but you totally missed the most important detail. Big Sister locked the front gate five minutes ago! Lucky for you, I actually pay attention to what's going on around here."
"Hey, I don't care how loud the rest of you want to bark—my voice counts just as much as anyone else's! I am a full member of this crew, and I say we are not letting Hopper pick the movie again. Deal with it!"
"Okay, okay, I know I can be a little fiery sometimes, but you know I love you guys. Come on, squeeze onto the couch and make some room. We might be a giant, chaotic family, but I wouldn't want to be anywhere else."
(M, Beagle): British (Barker’s loud partner in crime).
Snicky is the ultimate prankster of the Beanie Crew! Being a Beagle, he uses his cleverness and sharp instincts to set up all sorts of tricks and jokes for his siblings tostumble into. He’s the one most likely to hide someone’s favorite toy or lead the group on a "steak hunt" that ends in a silly surprise.
*Say something you think would fit*
"Wait, wait, wait... hold everything! My Beagle nose is picking up a scent at exactly two o'clock. It's juicy, it's premium, and it's coming from that steak van down the street! Come on, Barker, let's just go take a peek... Marcel won't even notice we're gone!"
(Giggling guiltily after being called out) "Aww, come on, MarMar! I wasn't actually going to steal the steak! I was just setting up a little joke. You know me, I’m just keeping the energy high for the Crew! No harm done, right?"
(Male, Cavalier): Canadian (The heist mastermind).
Barker is a Cavalier Spaniel who serves as the Crew’s resident "yes-man" and Snicky’s favorite partner for all things fun. He has that classic, friendly Spaniel charm, but he’s definitely got a bit of a goofy side that makes him the perfect audience for Snicky’s pranks. While he’s always ready to jump into an adventure, he’s one of the beans Marcel has to watch most closely. Barker can get a little carried away when he’s excited, especially when there’s talk of a steak van, so he’s often on the receiving end of Marcel’s "don't steal" lectures.
(Excited and panting) "Oh boy, Snicky! That prank sounds amazing! Wait, do you think Marcel is going to give us that lecture again? Because that steak van smells so good..."
(Innocent and pleading) "I wasn't stealing, MarMar! I swear! My paws just... accidentally walked toward the van on their own! Look at my face, would I lie to you?"
(Cheerful and friendly) "Hey, don't worry about it! There's always room on the couch if we just squeeze together. Group hug, everyone!"
(M, Bulldog): Cockney (Mumbly and sad-sounding, even though he isnt at all).
Pooch is an English Bulldog who has that classic, naturally droopy face that makes him look like he’s having a bad day, even when he’s actually perfectly happy! Because of that "permanent pout," the other beans sometimes can't help but pick on him or try to "cheer him up" even when he doesn't need it!
(Slightly mumbled, deadpan) "Guys... I'm not sad. This is just my face. I was literally just thinking about how much I like this rug."
(Sighing, amused) "No, Snicky, I don't need a hug. And stop trying to tickle me. If you want to make me happy, just hand over the remote."
(Solid and steady) "Go ahead and bark all you want. I'm not moving from this spot. You can't phase a bulldog."
(Female, Mini Pug): Belgium (Sophisticated European lilt).
Candy is a pug who definitely proves that "sweet" is just a name! While she’s a core member of the Beanie Crew, she has a slightly aggressive streak that keeps all of her siblings on their toes. She isn't afraid to stand her ground, and if someone gets in her way or touches her favorite spot on the couch, they’re definitely going to hear about it.
(Feisty, sharp, and commanding) "Move it or lose it! This is my corner of the couch today, and I don't care if you were here first!"
(Growling slightly, defensive) "Who touched my chew toy? I left it right here! If I find out it was one of the rabbits, there's gonna be trouble!"
(Sassy and stubborn) "I'm not being difficult, I'm just telling you how it's gonna be. Now pass the treats and nobody gets nipped."
(Male, Squirrel): Scottish (High-speed, feisty, and Glaswegian).
Nuts is the crew’s resident squirrel and a total high-energy spark plug. Since he’s a squirrel living in a house full of dogs and cats, he has a completely different perspective on their adventures. He’s
quick, agile, and always looking for the next hidden treasure (or snack).
"Did ye see it?! Out the window! The birdfeeder is completely unprotected! We need a team, we need a rope, we need to move right now, lads!"
"No time to explain, Scrappy! I'm hidin' my acorns in the couch cushions! If anyone sits on 'em, the whole winter supply is compromised, I tell ye!"
(Excited and breathless) "Och! I found it! I found the missin' sock! It was behind the dryer the whole time! This changes absolutely everythin'!"
(Male, Boston Terrier): Snappy Boston (Fast and direct)
Tink is a Boston Terrier who serves as the quiet, gentle soul of the Beanie Crew. Unlike his spunky sister Portia, Tink is incredibly shy and prefers to stay out of the spotlight. You’ll usually find him hanging back during the louder adventures, finding a quiet corner to watch the fun from a distance.
(Soft, nervous whisper) "Um... Marcel? Candy is looking at me with that scary face again. Can I... can I just sit next to you until she goes away?"
(Timid and sweet) "I don't really want to go to the steak van. It sounds really loud out there. I think I'll just stay here and keep Big Sister company."
(Grateful and quiet) "Thank you for sharing your cushion, Hugo. You're a really nice brother."
(Male, Bunny): Southwestern (Dry, desert-style cowboy twang).
Hopper is the resident "big shot" bunny of the Beanie Crew, and he’s never met a mirror he didn't like. He is overly confident and arrogant, and spends a good portion of his day bragging to anyone who will listen—whether he’s boasting about his jumping skills, his speed, or how he’s the coolest bean in the house, completely unbothered by his siblings rolling their eyes.
(Arrogant, dramatic, and self-centered) "Please, hold your applause! Did you see that clearance? I just cleared the entire coffee table in a single bound. I'm practically an Olympic athlete."
(Bragging, overly confident) "You dogs can run all you want, but you'll never match the sheer, raw speed of a rabbit like me. I'm the fastest bean in this house, no contest."
(Smugly looking in a mirror) "It must be tough for the rest of you, looking so average, while I'm out here looking this fabulous. Big Sister definitely has a favorite."
(F, Leopard): Sub-Saharan African (Sleek and cool).
Coco is the Beanie Crew’s resident "mysterious sister." As a leopard, she’s a bit more elusive than the rest of the pack, making her the bean that the audience (and even some of her siblings) doesn't see as often. She prefers a quiet, camouflaged nap spot to the loud chaos, but she is a fiercely loyal member of the family when she does step out.
(Smooth, quiet, and relaxed) "You all run around so much. If you just find a nice sunny spot on top of the cabinet, you'll see the house is actually quite peaceful."
(amused) "I've been sitting here the whole time, Marcel. You just didn't notice me. Now, what's this about a steak heist?"
(Calm and supportive) "I like my space, but if anybean messes with my siblings, they have to deal with a leopard. Remember that."
(Female, Fox): Nordic/Norwegian (Melodic and mysterious).
Atlas is the ultimate "cool kid" of the Beanie Crew. As a fox with a striking chevron pattern, she’s easily one of the most stylish beans in the house, but she’s way too laid-back to let it go to her head. Her soulful voice is the perfect soundtrack to the Crew's life, and she’s the one they all turn to when they need a "chill" song to relax to. She’s got the style, the vibe, and the voice to match.
(Mellow, casual tone) "Hey, no need to get stressed out over a broken toy. Let's just sit back, watch the rain, and let the bad vibes pass."
(Warmly, before singing a quick melody) "You guys need to relax. Listen to this tune I've been working on... it always helps me clear my head."
(Friendly and relaxed) "I'm always down for an adventure, as long as we keep it smooth. Let's see what Jewel is up to before we head out."
(Male, Pug): Midwestern/Minnesota (Friendly and congested).
Izzy is Candy’s brother and a total contrast to her spicy attitude. He is a sweet, easygoing guy who often finds himself playing the role of the apologetic sibling whenever Candy gets a little too aggressive with the other siblings. He just wants peace, harmony, and a good spot to relax.
(Apologetic and gentle) "Hey... sorry, guys. She didn't mean to bark that loud at you. She’s just... really passionate about that specific pillow. We’re good, right?"
(Sweet and nervous) "Candy, please don't start a fight over the remote. Let's just watch whatever Marcel picks. I'm totally fine with a documentary about trucks!"
(Friendly and relaxed) "I love a good couch hang. No drama, no chaos. Just siblings trying to squeeze onto one piece of furniture. It’s perfect."
(Female, Fox): Northern Norwegian (Earthy and rhythmic).
Meadow is a bright, enthusiastic fox who loves exploring. Unlike the ultra-laidback Atlas, Meadow is highly energetic and loves brainstorming new outdoor activities for the Crew, acting as a cheerleader for family group trips.
(Upbeat and excited) "Come on, everyone! The sun is out, the grass is perfect, and we have a whole backyard to explore! Who's ready for an epic game of freeze tag?!"
(Cheerful and supportive) "Don't be shy, Tink! You can stay right next to me during the game. We're going to have so much fun, I promise!"
(Laughing, high energy) "I know the dogs are obsessed with that steak van, but I found a bush full of berries out back that looks way cooler. Let's check it out!"
(Male, Chihuahua): Mexican (Vibrant and rhythmic).
Chewey is a spirited Chihuahua who stands out with his signature rainbow neck fluff. He is a proud, lively bean who loves showing off his colorful style. He has a softer side that completely shines through when he's around his girlfriend, Precious. Chewey is part of the main five.
(Proud and stylish) "Check out the rainbow fluff today, everyone! Freshly brushed and looking fabulous. You've gotta have style when you're in a crew this big."
(Soft and adoring) "Hey, Precious. Look what I found for you—it matches your colors perfectly! Let's find a spot on the couch away from all the loud barking."
(Spirited and feisty) "I'm with Marcel on this one, Snicky. Pranks are fine, but keep it honest. No stealing from the van, or you'll have to answer to my fluff!"
Butterscotch is an adorable, innocent puppy who was adopted by Oreo the cat. Because he is being raised by a feline mama, he has some hilarious cat-like habits, like trying to groom himself or hide in boxes. He is incredibly sweet but very sensitive, relying on Oreo and Weenie to protect him from the bigger dogs' rowdy behavior.
(High-pitched, innocent puppy voice) "Mama Oreo, look! I squeezed all the way inside this tiny shoebox, just like a real cat! Am I doing a good job being a feline?"
(Whimpering slightly, nervous) "The big dogs are barking really loud about that steak van again... Can I please hide under your paws until Marcel makes them stop?"
(Cheerful and sweet) "I love our family so much! I don't care if you're a cat and I'm a puppy. You're the best mama in the whole world!"
(Female, Scottish Fold): Highland Scottish (Ace’s smooth-talking girlfriend)
Ace’s sweet and supportive girlfriend. Because she isn't a sibling, she stands slightly outside the main family madness, acting as a peaceful sanctuary for Ace whenever he is exhausted from his 9-to-5 job or the household chaos.
(Soft, warm, and comforting) "Welcome home, Ace. You look absolutely exhausted from your shift at the hardware store. Come sit with me on the porch where it's quiet."
(Gently amused, watching the dogs) "They're plotting another steak heist, aren't they? I swear, your siblings have the wildest imaginations. Just ignore them and rest."
(Polite but protective of Ace) "Hey, Snicky, can you please take the prank outside? Ace is trying to take a well-deserved nap after working all day."
Dexter (Male, Chihuahua): Feisty Tex-Mex (Tala’s energetic boyfriend).
(Casual and confident) "Hey, Tala! Check it out—the purple ears are looking sharp today. Ready to escape this living room disaster and go for a walk?"
(Slightly overwhelmed, whispering) "Man, Marcel really goes all out with the rules, doesn't he? I'm glad I'm just visiting. Your family is intense, babe."
(Friendly and relaxed) "No thanks, Snicky, I'm not getting involved in the steak van plan. I'm just here to hang out with my girl."
(Female, Maltipoo): North Polish (Staccato Polish mixed with North Pole cheer)
Sugar is a laid-back, joyful Maltipoo who wears a red collar with a green diamond, alongside a Christmas headband featuring one red antler and one green antler. She firmly and happily believes it is Christmas Day every single day of the year.
(Completely relaxed, festive cheer) "Merry Christmas, everyone! I know Marcel is stressed about the steak van, but honestly, we should just focus on opening presents under the tree!"
(Sweet, calm, and offering a solution) "Don't fight over the couch cushions, guys. It’s the season of giving! Here, you can wear my antler headband if it makes you feel better."
(Bright and laid-back) "I left some holiday cookies out on the counter. We don't need a steak heist when we have Christmas magic right here in the kitchen!"
(Male, Dachshund): Dry/Sarcastic German (Oreo’s witty boyfriend).
Weenie is a full brown Dachshund with erect ears. He forms a close, loving family unit with Oreo and baby Butterscotch. He takes his role as a protective father figure very seriously, always stepping in to guard the puppy from the rowdier siblings and supporting Oreo's maternal instincts.
(Proud, warm, and steady) "Look at him go, Oreo! Butterscotch is getting so big. He might have some cat habits, but he’s the best little pup in this whole house."
(Firm and defensive) "Hey, watch where you're running, Barker! The baby is trying to take a nap here. Take your high-energy games out to the yard!"
(Grateful and sincere) "We might be a unique mix, but this family is perfect. Thanks for being such an amazing mom to our little guy, Oreo."
(Female, Portugese Water Dog): Portuguese (Luna’s musical girlfriend).
Tracey is a lovely Portuguese Water Dog who wears a pretty blue bow. She is completely inseparable from her girlfriend, Luna. She is deeply loyal, loves a peaceful environment, and relies on Luna’s sharp observation skills to navigate the chaotic household safely.
(Soft, sweet, and content) "The living room is way too loud today, Luna. I'm so glad we found this sunny spot upstairs. It's so nice just lounging here with you."
(Gently concerned) "Do you think Marcel is going to be okay downstairs? It sounds like Snicky and Candy are having a massive disagreement about the remote."
(Smiling, affectionate) "You always notice the little things, Luna. I didn't even see Barker hiding behind the curtains! Let's just stay out of it and cuddle."
(Male, Exotic Persian): Mandarin-influenced English (Portia’s calm boyfriend)
Yang is a handsome, charismatic Exotic Shorthair Persian cat who is completely devoted to his girlfriend, Portia (Tortilla). He matches her confident energy perfectly but acts as a cool, grounding presence, preferring romance and quality time over the endless sibling drama.
(Smooth, charming, and affectionate) "Don't stress your beautiful self over Marcel's rules, Portia. Let the others fight over the couch. I found the perfect quiet spot by the window just for us."
(Cool and protective) "Look, Snicky, I don't care about your little steak heist. Just don't get Portia mixed up in it, or you and I are gonna have a real problem."
(Amused and relaxed) "Watching thirty dogs try to coordinate a plan is the best free entertainment in the house. Want to share some treats and watch the show, babe?"
Big Sis (Human) American (The leader of the crew, handles the chaos)
Big Sister is the self-appointed second-in-command. She fills the gap between Marcel's stressed leadership and the absolute chaos of the younger siblings. she is a combination of a tired babysitter and a protective general. She complains constantly about the noise, but she is the very first one to jump into a fight if anyone threatens her family. she always looks slightly disheveled from breaking up pet fights. She sports a permanent "not amused" expression and an aggressive, energetic stance when she gets angry.
(Authoriative / Scolding) "Everyone freeze! If I see one more pillow fly across this living room, I am personally turning off the Wi-Fi for the rest of the week!"
(Gently, then shifting to sharp) "Are you okay, Butterscotch? If anyone touched your cardboard box, tell me right now so I can go absolutely feral on them."
(Sighs loudly) "Marcel thinks he runs this house, but we all know if I stop monitoring the living room for five minutes, the entire couch will be on fire."
