A Comedy Series for
God made Crab is a slapstick comedy series for all ages that retells the story of Adam and Eve from the perspective of the animals.
Message from Creators
Brought to you by artists with credits on Klaus, Sonic 2 and Paddington in Peru,
God made Crab is a hilarious and heartwarming animated series about faith, perseverance and unlikely friendships, all wrapped up in absurd slapstick and visual comedy.
Our mission is for God made Crab to be the first of many series exploring the rich universe of Eden post-fall, through the untold lens of the animals, offering families and churches God-honouring entertainment which stays true to the core messaging of the original texts.
When the paradise of Eden becomes a savage world overnight, a bewildered crab embarks on a journey to uncover what went wrong—and how it can be made right.
The Story
Distribution
When Adam and Eve shatter the tranquillity of Eden, one cranky crab finds his solitary life turned upside down and is determined to find out why.
What was once a quiet beach home has become survival of the fittest, with every animal in the kingdom facing strange new challenges they’ve never experienced before.
Crab sets off on a quest to find Adam and Eve, hoping that somehow, a broken Eden can be restored.
Distribution Deal Signed

Angel Studio Membership Growth
Roth/MKM expects Angel's membership to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 30% over the next three years and reach 4.3 million subscribers by 2028.

Angel is on the hunt for their next breakout animated franchise
and God made Crab is uniquely positioned to fill that gap.

Based on Angel’s average platform performance, we’ve modelled three forecast scenarios for God Made Crab over a 5-year period — excluding any revenue from merchandising, licensing, or third-party distribution:
Kids' animation ranks highest for rewatchability across Angel titles — a key advantage under Angel’s watch-time-based pay-out model. Children’s tendency to revisit favourites boosts cumulative viewership and, in turn, creator earnings. Meanwhile, the Angel Guild has doubled in size in under 5 months, expanding the base of paying members — and the long-term potential for filmmaker residuals.
