FAQ & Show Trivia

A Pixar-style 3D animated comedy series about Sam Marvin, a brilliant but broke inventor who accidentally built a machine in his garage that opens portals to realities nothing like our own. Set in the fictional town of Plainview, population 420.

Yes. My Wrong Timeline is a full animated comedy series with 22-minute episodes, a cast of 52 characters, original voice acting, and a continuous storyline. AI is our rendering engine the way Pixar uses RenderMan. The audience experience is a show, not a tech demo.

The series is designed for ongoing seasons, similar to The Simpsons model. Season 1 is currently in production. Each 22-minute episode generates 25-34 extractable short-form clips for social media.

Full episodes will be on YouTube. Short clips and moments will be on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, Facebook, Reddit, X/Twitter, and Snapchat. Follow @mywrongtimeline everywhere.

My Wrong Timeline is created and produced by a single creator using AI as the animation rendering engine. Every creative decision, from story to character design to voice direction, is human-driven.

The machine opens portals to realities that are fundamentally alien — impossible landscapes, different physics, surreal beauty or horror. These are NOT alternate versions of Earth or what-if scenarios. Think a jungle made of glass, a city where gravity pulls sideways, an ocean that exists above the sky. Each destination is a visual spectacle.

The name is the joke. A plain view. Nothing to see here. Except for the guy in his garage who keeps ripping holes in the fabric of reality. The population is 420. The motto is Nothing to see here.

A rating system that appears at the end of each episode measuring how far off the rails Sam's adventure went. Think of it like our version of The Simpsons' couch gag — a signature recurring element that fans anticipate.

Sam's living room has a fish tank with 20 species who perform famous scenes from classic plays, movies, and musicals when nobody in the family is watching. During every living room scene, a hidden 5-6 second cutaway shows the fish performing. The audience can't predict when it happens. It's a rewatch reward.

Jenny thinks the garage noises are extreme woodworking. She has not discovered the truth yet. Their neighbor Gerald, however, is suspicious of the garage glow.

Justin the terrier mix came through the machine from another reality and gained the ability to speak. The family keeps this secret. Justin is NOT smart though — his opinions are often hilariously wrong. He serves as an unreliable narrator.

52 total — 48 humans and 4 pets (Justin the talking dog, Einstein the genius macaw, Hamdini the escape-artist hamster, and Shadow the telekinetic cat). Plus Barkley, the neighbor's Pomeranian who thinks he's a Rottweiler. And 20 fish who perform famous scenes from classic shows.

A faded forest green station wagon with quirky antennas and a bumper sticker that reads We Travel Far And Wide.

A pure white fluffy hamster with the soul of Zorro. Suave theatrical personality with a tiny cape. No cage can hold him. A Houdini-level escape artist. He has escaped from the microwave, the toolbox, and the glove compartment.

Vinny Bianchi runs a traditional Neapolitan pizza place. Chef Laurent runs a French restaurant across the street. Their ongoing rivalry over who serves the better food is Plainview's favorite spectator sport. Vinny speaks at full volume with full hand gestures. Laurent is perpetually frustrated.

Shadow is a sleek black cat with telekinetic powers. Completely aloof. You will see objects move slightly in the background of scenes — that's Shadow. A rewatch reward that most viewers won't notice on first viewing.

Distinctive steampunk aesthetic — brass gears, copper pipes, mechanical dials, analog gauges, exposed clockwork mechanisms. Everything Sam creates has this handmade Victorian-industrial look. A massive floor-to-ceiling device with a central portal archway large enough to walk through.
