December 5, 1998 – November 8, 2019
Angry Kid is a British adult animated comedy television and web series created, directed, written, and designed by Darren Walsh and produced by Aardman Animations for Series 1 and 2 and by Mr Morris Productions for Series 3 and 4.
Unlike most Aardman productions, Angry Kid was not created using clay animation but a combination of pixilation (using actors in a form of stop motion puppetry) with masks for facial expressions. Series 3 onwards uses CGI for Angry Kid's head, along with live action. The series also aired in the United States on MTV.
Series 1 and 2 have been released on DVD by Pathé and 2Entertain respectively. All the Angry Kid animations from before the third series were on Atom.com before the site was absorbed into Comedy Central. A compilation DVD called Aardman's Dark Side was also released, and it contains several Series 2 episodes and an exclusive episode. The vast majority of Angry Kid has since been released on YouTube.
After an 8-year hiatus, Series 3 was launched on July 3, 2015 with the episode 'Interview'. Series 4 launched 4 years later in September 2019.
Unlike the first two series, Series 3 and 4 were exclusively released on the official Angry Kid YouTube page, with new episodes appearing every three weeks.
The fourth series concluded on November 8, 2019, and the channel did not upload again until 2025 when they started uploading compilations.
