That’s the only way we’ll have it.’ Now we are friends with benefits and I couldn’t be more stoked,” says Chris Prynoski, Titmouse president and founder. “This new and exciting relationship will help quench our relentless thirst for producing animated cartoons. Excuse me, I’m gonna go carve NF+TM on a tree now.”
