Atlantis Rocks is created by Coty Calloway. It is a bold indie animated pilot that blends absurd comedy with heartfelt storytelling. Set in the underwater city of Los Sandeles, it follows Fleming, a sanitation worker trying to clean up his chaotic town—and his life—one wild encounter at a time.
Brought to life by animator Daniel Arruda Massa, the series pairs sharp satire with expressive, hand-crafted visuals that capture both the madness and charm of this undersea world. Featuring an all-star voice cast including Phil LaMarr, Tara Strong, and Vico Ortiz, and backed by a passionate indie team, Atlantis Rocks proves what’s possible when creativity dives deep.
