Mondo Media, Inc. is an American multimedia company that mainly produces online animation aimed at teens and young adults. It was founded in 1988 by John Evershed and Deirdre O'Malley in San Francisco, California.[1]
Before Mondo Mini Shows, the company initially created content for various tech companies, before developing two video games, Critical Path in 1993 and The Daedalus Encounter in 1995, under the name Mechadeus. In the latter half of the 1990s, Mondo refocused on producing internet-based animation, under name Mondo Mini Shows which became the company's main business.
Mondo's most successful and popular shows are Happy Tree Friends, which has since spawned a multimedia franchise;[2] and Dick Figures, which was adapted into a feature-length film and was nominated for an Annie Award.[3]
According to AdAge Magazine in January 2013, Mondo Media was the top-ranked and all-time most popular YouTube channel, with 1.3 billion views and 1.3 million subscribers.[4]
