Synopsis

Set in a futuristic-medieval world, where warriors from around the world face off in a Battle Royale style competition, Battle Kitty follows the adventures of an adorable yet feisty kitten named Kitty, using magical bows instead of swords or axes, who along with their best friend Orc, embarks on a quest to become a great champion, by training to become a warrior, defeating all the monsters on Battle Island, and collecting their coveted keys. The duo face many obstacles and naysayers on their path to championhood, only to discover a surprise waiting in store for them at the Ancient Ruins. [6]

Layzell, at the time, was a freelance animator who worked on several shows for Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon, such as Apple & Onion , Pinky Malinky and Sanjay and Craig . [7] The shorts were then pitched to an array of networks, until Netflix picked it up for development. [8] The show was then announced in March 2019, taking over 4-5 years of production.
