What is Oddballs about?

Oddballs is an animated streaming series centered on James, a bubble-shaped teenager who is characterized by his insatiable curiosity and tendency to go on impassioned rants about everyday annoyances. Originating from the minds of creators James Rallison and Ethan Banville, this adventure-comedy series is produced by Netflix Animation and Atomic Cartoons and has aired over two seasons. Set in the fictional town of Dirt, Arizona, the narrative follows James and his friends — Max, a somewhat simple-minded crocodile, and Echo, a girl with the ability to time travel, as introduced in the series' fourth episode. The series showcases how James's critical ponderings on various social norms often lead to unpredictable and chaotic adventures. Across the show's twelve episodes, each spanning approximately 17 to 20 minutes, Oddballs weaves tales of friendship, the complexity of growing up, and the humor found in the absurdities of daily life. Additionally, elements of the series are drawn from Rallison's own digital persona on his YouTube channel, infusing a unique personal touch into the show's protagonist.

The first episode of Oddballs aired on October 07, 2022 and the most recent episode to air was on February 24, 2023.
