A new animated SF series, Mars Machines, originally created during COVID, is being released weekly on YouTube.

A grumpy toaster and a fastidious coffeepot uneasily cohabit in a kitchen on Mars. Their owner is gone, out on a case. The toaster used to be a spaceship, the coffeepot a burglar working for the Robo-Pope. Beyond the window ice-meteorites fall, and the enigmatic Dr Novum haunts their dreams, trying to get into their hidden shelter – and their minds. When a new answering machine turns out to be Bianca, a secret agent from Earth long on the trail of the inhuman Novum, their worlds collide.

Written and produced at the height of the Covid-19 epidemic, the seven part series is releasing this year for the first time. Featuring the voice talents of Russell Wilcox (Buddy the coffeepot), Digger Mesch (Toaster) and Anne Wittman (Bianca), the show was scripted by World Fantasy Award winner Lavie Tidhar and directed, animated and scored by Nir Yaniv under their Positronish label.

The first three episodes are now out and can be found here.
