What is it:
Don't Hug Me I'm Scared is a British web series created by Becky Sloan and Joseph Pelling. It consists of six episodes, released from 29 July 2011 to 19 June 2016 through the artists' website, YouTube, and Vimeo. The series combines segments in live action, puppetry, traditional animation, flash animation, clay animation, and computer animation.
Each episode starts like a typical children's series consisting of anthropomorphic puppets akin to those featured in Sesame Street and other popular children's television programmes. The series parodies and satirizes these TV programmes by contrasting this childlike, colourful environment and its inhabitants against disturbing themes; each episode features a surreal plot twist in the climax, including psychedelic content and imagery involving graphic violence, dark humour, and existential and psychological horror. The six episodes explore and discuss the subjects of creativity, time, love, technology, diet, and dreams.
