Talking Friends

Talking Friends was an animated web miniseries distributed by Disney Multimedia. It had 10 episodes of 2-3 minutes each that ran on Youtube from June 8, 2012 to August 31, 2012.

As the title suggests, this show is based on the Talking Friends era of the franchise, and is distinguishable from the show that followed as the characters’ voices are more exaggerated and faithful to the games. The setting is in a desert with studio trailers, and Pierre and Gina are prominent characters along with Tom, Ben and Ginger, while Angela only appears in 4 out of the 10 episodes.
