Pup Fiction: ‘Doozie’s Doghouse’ Creators Introduce the Tail-Wagging Spinoff

This article was written for the December ’26 issue of Animation Magazine (No. 363).

Expanding the universe of Gabby’s Dollhouse, the new DreamWorks Animation series Doozie’s Doghouse will introduce fans to a younger main character who just happens to love dogs. The show follows Gabby’s younger sister, Doozie (played by Celestina Harris), as she discovers a magical doghouse filled with pups. Together, they go on adventures that combine animation with live action.

“We also created new, more tactile textures with the new technology that’s available. Everything is just a little bit more vivid and juicier and fuzzier and more vibrant.” — Co-creator/exec producer Jennifer Twomey

The show was created by Traci Paige Johnson and Jennifer Twomey, who also serve as executive producers. Donovan Cook (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) is co-executive producer. Nhu Diep (Gabby’s Dollhouse, Pinky Malinky) serves as art director, and Martin Leeper (The Croods: Family Tree) was CG supervising producer.

“The original idea for Doozie’s Doghouse came when we were writing for Gabby’s, and we came up with the idea of bringing a dog into the dollhouse,” says Johnson. “We thought it would be a great opportunity to meet a new member of Gabby’s family. And there is a big visual difference in terms of the visual language of Doozie’s. Gabby’s was more pinks and blues and pastels, and more stripes. For Doozie’s, we went with vibrant oranges and hot pinks and reds. We really made sure that those visual distinctions were woven into each zone, each room. We worked hard to make them feel of the same universe, but very different visually and very different styles.”

Tail-Wagging Visuals

Twomey adds, “We also created new, more tactile textures with the new technology that’s available. Everything is just a little bit more vivid and juicier and fuzzier and more vibrant. It’s almost like we turned up the saturation from Gabby’s Dollhouse. We’re bringing the fun dog energy to this show.”

The series brought together around 230 people across the internal and external studio partners that collaborated on the series. CGCG in Taiwan and Saffronic in India both worked on animation for the series. Maya, Nuke, Houdini, Photoshop and V-Ray were among the tools used by the crew to create the show.

Doozie's Doghouse
Pawsitive Play: ‘Doozie’s Doghouse’ centers on the adventures of Gabby’s younger sister, Doozie (Celestina Harris), who can shrink into her own magical doghouse and go along pawsitive adventures with her pals, Puggie Paws, CreamPup, BoxPup, GamePup and Sequin Pup.

“We’re so fortunate that we got to spend six-plus years making Gabby’s Dollhouse,” says Cook. “The software that was the baseline when Gabby’s started back in 2018 and 2019 couldn’t do what we can do now. The new software has much juicier textures, and so it was an organic bump up in terms of that. If you watch a Gabby’s episode back to back with Doozie’s episode, I think you’ll feel the difference for sure.”

As art director, Diep knew that audiences would come to the show with a sense of how the world should look based on Gabby’s Dollhouse. That meant carrying on that sensibility through Doozie’s Doghouse while taking advantage of new tech.

Doozie's Doghouse

“The world and the design aesthetic were kind of established, but we wanted to push it,” says Diep. “We wanted to make sure new audiences saw an enhancement from the previous series. It might not be something that you visually saw, but you would definitely feel it. We wanted to embrace these simple designs but really make them shine in the realistic and tactile materials that you see in the show.

“We spent maybe five years on Gabby’s Dollhouse trying to get a pompom right. We were looking for that feel a soft pompom that looked correct, and we were never able to get it on Gabby’s Dollhouse. On Doozie’s Doghouse, we were able to achieve that. These realistic materials are important to us because we want things to feel tactile and soft and cozy and warm. We want the colors to feel vibrant and welcoming. We really pushed and enhanced everything.”

Doozie's Doghouse

Leeper says the technological advancements of the tools they were using on Gabby’s Dollhouse opened more opportunities for Doozie’s Doghouse. While working on TV deadlines, they were now able to create more refined visual details.

“On Gabby’s Dollhouse, it was older technology,” says Leeper. “After we started the show in 2018, it would have taken a lot to revamp everything. Now we’re doing a new show and we’re able to kind of get caught up with a lot of the improvements in technology. We’re able to do more complex lighting, more complex effects, because they’re easier to do now, and you know we’re able to use apps, programs and technology that allow for all that stuff to be easier. We’re using V-Ray, Houdini and Maya — just all the standards to make the show now.

Doozie's Doghouse

“In my opinion, the bigger part is that we’re using the skill set and experience from the DreamWorks hub in television,” he points out. “These artists who have worked on all of the shows that have been done by DreamWorks and they are now contributing to a new show where they can use these tools that have improved over time.”

Doozie's Doghouse

“I think what’s so wonderful about children’s television is the shows that you watched at that age stay with you in like a bone-deep sense for your whole life, you can go back and remember it,” says Johnson. “And I think the key for all of us is staying tapped into that inner kid, inner preschooler that we all have, and just knowing this age group, knowing where they are developmentally. We hope our show is one these kids will remember and think back on later in life.”

DreamWorks’ Doozie’s Doghouse is now streaming on Netflix.

'Glitch Techs' Set to Leave Netflix In August 2027

Glitch Techs is set to leave Netflix in the new year, it has been revealed.

'Glitch Techs' Key Art
Netflix

Who knows what really happens when a video game starts to glitch? In Glitch Techs, two teens work at a game store as a front for their actual job: Hunting video game monsters who've broken out into the real world for a super secret task force, The Monster Hunters! Nickelodeon's animated adventure-comedy series follows two newly recruited kids as they battle video game monsters that come to life in the real world.

Produced by Nickelodeon, the series was originally greenlit for a 20-episode first season for its linear channels in May 2016 with plans to debut the series in 2018, however, Nickelodeon sold the rights to Netflix as part of Paramount's (then called Viacom) initiate to identify intellectual property within it vaults that could be an ideal fit for a digital or linear programmer outside of the company. The series then premiered as a Netflix Original (although still carrying the Nickelodeon branding), with Part One (the first 10 episodes of season one) being released on Friday, February 21, 2020, followed by Part Two (the latter 10 episodes of season one) on Monday, August 17, 2020. As part of the Netflix partnership, the streamer has bowed several Nickelodeon series and movies, including Pinky Malinky, Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling, and Invader ZIM: Enter the Florpus.

Following its initial pick-up by Nickelodeon, the series then got picked up for an additional 10 episodes. These 10 episodes were written, storyboarded and designed before Nickelodeon placed on the show on hiatus, so unfortunately never got animated and are sitting inside Nickelodeon’s server.

According to our friends over at WoNetflix, both Part One and Part Two of Glitch Techs are currently set to leave Netflix on Tuesday, August 17, 2027.

At the moment, this is a penciled in date for the show's removal, and Netflix could still renew the rights to the series, however, the streamer did the same with Pinky Malinky, another Nickelodeon-produced Netflix Original series last year, with the show removed from the service in July this year. The silver-lining was, however, that Nickelodeon International aired the series across its pan-regional feeds around the same time. It's currently unknown whether Nickelodeon will start to air Glitch Techs after its Netflix removal.

More About Glitch Techs:

Something Glitchy This Way Comes.. Nickelodeon's animated adventure-comedy series follows two newly recruited kids as they battle video game monsters that come to life in the real world.

This animated series features High Five and Miko, two gamers who are recruited into the world of Glitch Techs: kids who battle the video game glitches that enter our world through faulty game consoles!

In the world of Glitch Techs, Hinobi is a huge gaming and tech company that makes massively popular video games consoles. What Hinobi customers do NOT know is that their games sometimes glitch and release dangerous video game creatures into the real world! That’s when the company send the Glitch Techs: a trained support team equipped with an arsenal of fantastic gaming gear designed to capture video game pests and out them back where they belong!

Once a glitch is returned, the Techs must remove any evidence it was there – including the memories of any witnesses! Not only do Glitch Techs fight for the safety of the city, they also work at Hinobi stores, helping customers with tech support and service needs.

Enter Miko and high Five – new recruits who fight glitches and reformat witnesses all before the store closes at 5pm. Talk about a crazy job! Respect the Tech!

Glitch Techs comes from Eric Robles (Fanboy & Chum Chum, Stranger Things: Tales from '85) and Dan Milano (Greg the Bunny, Stranger Things: Tales from '85), both hailing from Nickelodeon's Artist Collective, an internal artist-led development program, and is produced at the Nickelodeon Animation Studio in Burbank, Calif.

Glitch Techs boasts a diverse cast of characters, including Miko, who has ADHD, and Zahra Rashid, a Muslim-American female character who wears a hijab. At a industry panel, the co-creators explained that when they were developing Glitch Techs, they “recognized the need to incorporate characters reflective of the viewing audience, whether they are background characters or main characters,” and revealed that they had worked with MPAC (Muslim Public Affairs Council) to “figure out how to accurately display an authenticity, even down to little behaviors.” Dan Milano further elaborated, “Even though we’re an animated show and they are trying to catch creatures, we want small things. We want to know that a stray hair came out of that hijab, and she had to tuck it behind her ear because that’s a human moment, that’s a practical moment, from everyday life.”

Glitch Techs stars Ricardo Hurtado as High Five, Monica Ray as Miko, Luke Youngblood as Mitch, Sandeep Parikh as Haneesh, Zehra Fazal as Zahra, Josh Sussman as Bergy, Eric Lopez as Papi, Dan Milano as BITT and Scott Kreamer as Phil, as well as Scott Kreamer, Betsy Sodaro, Ashly Burch, Greg Nix, Dee Baker, Stephanie Sheh, Jolene Kim, Felicia Day, Cree Summer, Roshon Fegan, Rachael Russakoff, Nolan North, Jane Lynch, Bryton James, and many more.

‘AVATAR: SEVEN HAVENS’ executive producers tease that the series will get noticeably darker as the story progresses.

“As the great Samuel L. Jackson stated in Jurassic Park: ‘Hold onto your butts.’”

‘AVATAR: SEVEN HAVENS’ executive producer Ethan Spaulding confirms that one-on-one fights are coming in future books.

While there are no purely “evil” villains, antagonists will still become “incredibly dark or destructive” based on their own rationales.

‘AVATAR: SEVEN HAVENS’ co-executive producer Sehaj Sethi teases a happier romantic future for Jae in upcoming seasons.

“We wouldn’t leave Jae heartbroken forever.”

‘AVATAR: SEVEN HAVENS’ will feature character-focused episodes in the spirit of ‘Zuko Alone’ and ‘Korra Alone.’

While none are titled “Pavi Alone” or “Nisha Alone,” co-executive producer Sehaj Sethi says “the sentiment of those ATLA/LOK episodes is definitely alive.”

Avatar Studios intentionally built a brand-new writers' room for ‘AVATAR: SEVEN HAVENS’ rather than bringing back writers from ‘ATLA’ or ‘LOK.’

Co-executive producer Sehaj Sethi says bringing in new voices with full racial and gender parity helped add “a lot of depth and complexity to the storytelling.”

‘AVATAR: SEVEN HAVENS’ executive producer Ethan Spaulding promises the show's animation will continue to evolve in upcoming seasons.

“The animation keeps getting better and better as the series progresses.”

‘AVATAR: SEVEN HAVENS’ executive producers say they are thrilled with the fan reception to Book 1.

“The entire staff is happy that everyone is engaged with [the] mystery!”

‘AVATAR: SEVEN HAVENS’ co-executive producer Sehaj Sethi confirms that upcoming seasons will explore more of Jae’s history and upbringing.

“Don’t want to spoil anything but Jae being one of our main characters, we definitely delve more into his history eventually.”

‘AVATAR: SEVEN HAVENS’ co-executive producer Sehaj Sethi says casting Major Curda as Jae felt like “kismet” because of how naturally similar the actor and character already were.

“The moment I heard Jae’s audition I said to myself, ‘Well, that’s Jae.’”

‘AVATAR: SEVEN HAVENS’ co-executive producer Sehaj Sethi reassures fans that Jae will receive the emotional support he deserves in future episodes.

“We promise there are folks who care about Jae too.”

‘AVATAR: SEVEN HAVENS’ co-executive producer Sehaj Sethi confirms that more Easter eggs referencing ‘ATLA,’ ‘The Legend of Korra,’ and the franchise’s novels and comics are hidden throughout the series.

“Our whole crew is made up of fans of the franchise and our board teams were frequently adding little Easter Eggs even we didn’t know about!”

‘AVATAR: SEVEN HAVENS’ executive producers reveal that creators Mike DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko were “involved in everything” while giving the team creative freedom to expand the world.

Co-executive producer Sehaj Sethi also shared that the series drew heavy architectural inspiration from Rajasthan and landmarks in Delhi, including the Red Fort, India Gate, and the Ba’hai Lotus Temple.

‘AVATAR: SEVEN HAVENS’ co-executive producer Sehaj Sethi refuses to spoil anything regarding Korra’s tarnished reputation or whether Asami was truly harvesting spirit energy.

“Nope. You gotta watch!”

‘AVATAR: SEVEN HAVENS’ co-executive producer Sehaj Sethi shares the story of getting pickpocketed by a team of monkeys at Delhi’s Red Fort—one of the real-world landmarks that inspired the series.

“One monkey grabbed my hand so I couldn’t move, and the other snatched the peanuts from me. I cried. My parents took pictures.”

‘AVATAR: SEVEN HAVENS’ co-executive producer Sehaj Sethi teases that Karthik’s internal struggles will deepen even further as the series progresses.

“We always wanted him to grapple with very difficult issues and not make simple, clearly pious choices. He is a very complex character and that will only deepen as AVSH progresses.”

‘AVATAR: SEVEN HAVENS’ co-executive producer Sehaj Sethi confirms that Book 2 will reveal more about Korra and what happened during the Cataclysm.

“Throughout the entire series we try to take peeks into virtually all of our characters’ pasts. Book Two will definitely share more about Korra, and what happened during the Cataclysm.”

‘AVATAR: SEVEN HAVENS’ executive producers confirm the Root Chakra Anomaly is “completely unique” and unrelated to Vaatu despite their visual similarities.

“We really wanted the anomaly to feel almost alien; an entity where you can’t find its brain. Story’s been planned! Only gets more epic from here.”

‘AVATAR: SEVEN HAVENS’ co-executive producer Sehaj Sethi reveals that creators Mike DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko came up with the post-apocalyptic concept long before production began.

“There were definitely challenges to creating seven brand new, unique city-states and cultures, but it was also freeing to be able to bring a lot of new ideas and concepts to the franchise.”

‘AVATAR: SEVEN HAVENS’ co-executive producer Sehaj Sethi says modern societal divisions and fear of the “other” heavily inspired how the Seven Havens function.

“I think beyond Covid, the divisions we face within our society, and fear of the ‘other’ was a huge inspiration for how societies in Seven Havens function.”

‘AVATAR: SEVEN HAVENS’ co-executive producer Sehaj Sethi confirms that Jae had likely seen Nisha in passing at the Brigade compound before Episode 1.

“Since Nisha had been living for three years prior to episode one within the Brigade compound as Karthik’s assistant, we felt Jae would’ve seen Nisha in passing, but perhaps given her a cursory glance at best. He’s got too many Brigade duties to focus on.”

‘AVATAR: SEVEN HAVENS’ executive producers reveal that blending synth music with classical instruments was co-creator Bryan Konietzko’s idea from day one.

“He was really excited about bringing a whole new soundscape to the show... and Jeremy [Zuckerman] has knocked it out of the park!”

Full Bio

The right sound can bring out the very best in an artist, amplifying what makes their voice and
perspective distinctive. Finding that sound, however, can take time.

After years of relentless work, building an audience one release at a time, and refusing to give up, Welsh singer-songwriter Jamie Miller has found the sound he always wanted. Instead of looking outward for it, he turned inward, reconnecting with what made him fall in love with music in the first place and unlocking a new level of his artistry. The result is a future-vintage take on pop: all the grit and gusto of the classics, infused with the energy of a new generation.

Exuding tried-and-true soul, embracing live instrument-led production, and flaunting sky-high range, he formally introduces himself with his new single “Babydoll,” out now on Republic Records.

“I’m stepping things up in a way I’ve never done before,” he shares. “When I look at my favorite
singers, they’re all timeless. I’ve moved into a classy era and framed myself in a different light, whether it be by wearing suits as part of my brand, taking my dancing more seriously, or dialing in the style. It’s authentic, and I’m having the time of my life.”

Born and raised in Cardiff, Wales, a long grind brought Jamie to this place. He could only dream of leaving his small town as a kid, but he unexpectedly wound up at the doorstep of stardom. Following a breakout on social media in 2020, he delivered the seismic hit “Here’s Your Perfect,” gathering nearly 600 million Spotify streams and leading the way for the Broken Memories EP [2022]. He maintained his momentum with his The Things I Left Unsaid EP [2023] and full-length debut LP, Long Way Home [2024]. FLAUNT Magazine hailed the latter as “a great collection of songs but also a deeply personal, almost confessional project,” and NOTION described it as “packed with emotional depth and a refined pop sensibility.” Beyond selling out global tours, he even performed on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

Operating independently in 2025, he embarked on what would be his next chapter. Rather than follow trends, he made music for himself. He did a deep dive into Motown and classic R&B, which his dad first played for him as a child in Cardiff. Under the influence of Aretha Franklin, Donny Hathaway, and many others, he honed his vision. He didn’t shy away from getting ambitious either.

“I went back to what I grew up listening to and made soulful pop,” he says. “I aim to be the guy
creating real music you can grasp onto. I knew that if I loved it, there was bound to be a crowd of people who loved it too because I’m singing from the bottom of my soul.”

He immediately struck a chord with his most recent single “Babydoll.” Co-written by Jamie and
produced by Michael Blum and Hayley Warner, it opened up his world in dramatic fashion. Throughout the track, cymbals shuffle, guitar wails, and the bass line thumps as the vocals come into focus.

Between steady claps, neon keys, and jazz-y saxophone, he belts out a sticky and sweet refrain as he succumbs to love, “If someone’s gonna wreck me, believe me baby, that someone’s gotta be you.”

“It was the easiest session I’ve ever done,” he exclaims. “Lyrically, it’s a love song. In my previous relationship, sometimes I’d say ‘Babydoll’ as a joke to my partner. Even though there were some hard moments in my personal life over the past few years, a sense of light returned in 2026. There’s so much darkness in the world, so I’m bringing back some joy.”

That joy quickly spread. He posted a series of videos singing and dancing to “Babydoll,” and it sparked successive trends online and even gained the attention of stars across the music, film, television, and sports worlds. It quickly racked up millions of streams and is topping charts across the globe—setting the stage for his worldwide takeover.

With more music on the horizon, Jamie’s light is shining brighter than ever.

“After listening to me, I want you to feel good,” he leaves off. “I hope to be an example that things do get better. The world has seen a few different versions of me over the years, and I’m finally happy with my music, where I’m going, and who I am.”
