Bee and PuppyCat, a delightful American adult animated series penned by Natasha Allegri, introduces us to Bee (voiced by Allyn Rachel), a resourceful young woman in her early twenties facing unemployment and rent woes. Her life takes an unexpected twist when she encounters the mysterious creature known as PuppyCat (voiced by the Vocaloid 3 software Oliver), a charming cat-dog hybrid.
Bee's decision to adopt this unique companion sets the stage for a series of whimsical adventures as they tackle temporary jobs to cover her monthly rent, a struggle that resonates with many in today's world. The show's journey began in 2013 with a web pilot and gained momentum through fan support on Kickstarter.
The first season was funded by dedicated fans. It premiered on YouTube from 2014 to 2016, leaving a lasting impression with its clever storytelling and lovable characters. Despite a delay and an online leak in 2020, Netflix stepped in, commissioning three additional episodes that reimagined the original pilot and first season. The series finally found its home on Netflix on September 6, 2022.
