Latest Updates

  • Legal issues

    Hello everyone! Over the last few months It's come to my attention that the legality of this project may be on the line, I don't want to infringe on the work of the Warrior Cats LLC and I'm still thinking about postponing or cancelling this project in favor of an original project for the time being. For now, this project will be deemed completed and I will no longer be looking at applications.

  • VA casting

    We officially have VA's for (at least) the storyboard demo! As of currently I'm unsure if I will keep the same voice actors for the final film, but they will be used for sure in the demo. So far, I have VA's for all the following characters:

    Mapleshade, Appledusk, Frecklewish, Reedshine, Appledusk, Perchpaw, Milkfur, Petalkit, Ravenwing, Beetail, Eeltail, Larkwing, WindClan she-cat, WindClan tom, and the kittypet.
