About Wonkybot
Wonkybot is a creator-owned entertainment studio developing original franchises for the digital age.
Founded by writer-producer Stewart St John, former Disney producer Todd Fisher, and Australian producer-composer Michael Plahuta, Wonkybot creates, owns, and distributes original intellectual property across animation, live-action, audio, publishing, film, television, consumer products, and emerging media platforms.
Built on the belief that great stories no longer need traditional gatekeepers to reach audiences, Wonkybot combines premium storytelling with direct-to-consumer distribution, leveraging platforms such as YouTube, podcasts, streaming media, social content, and new technologies to build lasting entertainment brands from the ground up.
The company’s roots are deeply tied to innovation. Long before streaming became mainstream, St John and Fisher helped pioneer digital entertainment through some of the earliest scripted online and mobile storytelling experiences, including one of the world’s first cross-platform web and mobile drama series. Their work helped shape the evolution of serialized storytelling for connected audiences.
Wonkybot officially launched in 2015 with an audio-first strategy, producing award-winning original properties including Tara Tremendous, Spooky Troop, and Origins Unknown. The studio’s projects have earned recognition including a Parents’ Choice Gold Award, a Webby Honor, and coverage from major industry outlets including Deadline and Kidscreen.
Today, Wonkybot is expanding into a multi-platform entertainment company centered on creator-owned franchises. Its flagship animated series, The Swines, has evolved from an independently financed YouTube series into a growing entertainment universe featuring recurring characters, expanding storylines, live programming, publishing initiatives, merchandise opportunities, and future spin-off projects.
With a commitment to ownership, innovation, and long-term franchise building, Wonkybot develops every project with the goal of creating enduring brands that can grow across multiple platforms and generations.
At its core, Wonkybot exists to prove that independent creators can build world-class entertainment companies by combining great storytelling, emerging technology, and direct relationships with audiences worldwide.
