Project By
Connected as Bryan Waterman (269 friends)
Bryan Waterman was raised in a small town in southern New Hampshire. As a kid, he would spend countless hours watching cartoons and drawing his own. Years later, his undeniable love for art, animation, and television led him to Boston, Massachusetts where he graduated from The New England Institute Of Art.
Today, Bryan has had the pleasure of working with many well-known companies and individuals providing them with everything from vocal talent, to character design, to producing full-length animated pilots for television.
Well, it sucks that Leslie Nielson died, but if you have the voice audio for this, you need to get it out there!!! This is Leslie's last movie! You have to do it!
I could only pledge 100 dollars I would have gone for the grand but I didn't know about this in time, next time a movie is made i'll make sure I save up the money incase you decide to make another one, good luck Waterman.
Bryan* wow...I messed that up!
Good luck, Brian!
I second that..I want a Waterman tote bag. You can start another kickstarter campaign for waterman tote bags.
Maybe you should give out tote bags. Seems to work for PBS ...
Well, I donated a bit, though it looks like the goal has a ways to go in the next 3 days... as a realist I have my doubts, but hope that it will work out. I have been a fan of your series since day 1. I remember my freshman year of high school when i first watched the first episode of waterman on newgrounds, and showed like everybody I know. Even to this day, as a 22 year old guy living in Japan serving in the Navy, I occasionally scam over newgrounds, and your website to see if anything new has come up. I was happy to see that your movie is not a dead project, I won't lie, after having heard about it over 2 years ago, I thought you had abandoned it. I am glad to see that that is not the case, and I sincerely wish the best of luck to you, I would really like to see this movie get made. And even if this funding does not work out, I will keep an eye out for your future attempts to launch this project, and assist in ways I can. Don't give up on it Bry! You've had more success following your dream than most people alive ever do!
I feel bad that I can't donate to this, I really want to see this succeed, I'll spread the word at least though :D
I have been waiting for this. FOREVER.
I was only able to come up with $20, but I have been spreading the word and really hope the funding comes through!
Unfortunately I am broke :|
Is there no way to extend the fundy thing?
Just bumped up my pledge in hopes of this getting funded.
I forgot all about this series. until I saw the teaser on Newgrounds. I just hope that it can get $15,000 in 8 days. But I doubt it. I have a question Mr. Waterbo...err, Waterman. Will the project be dead if it doesn't get the funding?
$20 is the least I can offer to help with this movie. Best of luck!
I hope this gets the funding it deserves. I'm going to mention it when I update.
Damn, i wish i new about this sooner. I am telling all my army buddies here in baghdad about the epic cartoon sereies that is waterman. I rediscoverd the series while deployed here in Iraq and I still laugh just as hard as i did a few years ago. You Sir have been an inspiration to my humor and film making for years. I remember my firends and i checking the waterman site everyday after school laughing our asses off. After seeing one of your videos, ("peter parker boy band member" i think it was) we grabbed a camera, guitar, and paint bucket with drum sticks and started improving music on street corners all over town. We even tried to make a Roybot suit for halloween. I really hope this picks up soon. I encourage everyone reading this to pledge at least $5 more dollars. Waterman has the talent to go far, he just needs our help. skip the starbucks coffee this morning and put it to something that will make you and countless others laugh. thank you
I've given my twenty; it's not much, but if everyone that enjoyed Waterman does so, they'd have their TONdred dollars! Good luck Watergent!
Hey Bryan,
I'm a long time fan of the Waterman series, and I wanted to help out. I donated $20, and I know it's not much but I hope it can help. Thanks for making the Waterman series, and through that for helping me discover my favorite band, Reel Big Fish. If you hadn't made that music video for A-W-E-S-O-M-E, I would be a very different man. I hope you reach your goal!
Thanks,
Craig Kober
A yellow band that reads "SAVE THE WATERMAN MOVIE" has now appeared along the bottom of my weekly videos for FivePointsofView, as well as a link. How curious.
Alright Bryan. I'm in for a C-note and I posted another "begging for money" request on my facebook page. What I'm losing in friends I'm making up for in t-shirts and posters and stuff. My shirt size is XL (no , it's not 2X and stop asking that! Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were my wife.) I have not been canvasing door to door or putting up posters yet... Keep the Faith!
Leslie Nielsen? On A Kickstarter Project? Heh, Interesting!
Wait, so the DVD you get with the $20 up pledge gets you the Waterman Series on it as well? This might be a good thing to mention in the pledge description! That's a selling point!
Would you be willing to accept help in the for the cost of free?
Waterman movie posters have now hit the campus of San Francisco State University. Some could say I am involved.
Well Mr. waterman I think I'll accept what your offering,lol. I put a tiny bit more to my pledge so I wouldn't be like a floating cell looking for somewhere to attach myself. This way I'll totally in bedded into the Waterman Movie's log of fame! If my money tree blossoms soon I'll be adding more to my pledge. My prayers are sent so there's no turning back ! *hugs*
Good luck, Bryan!
@ Kyle - The chances of it being released in theaters around the world are pretty slim. That isn't to say however that I wouldn't like for "The Waterman Movie" to play in some theaters around the country. I'll be contacting smaller theaters and looking more into doing an Eventful type thing when/if the movie nears completion. My intentions right now are for "The Waterman Movie" to be released on DVD along with the entire "Waterman" series and tons of bonus content.
So i just showed everything to a friend of mine and his first question was "Will it be in theatres?". Is there any chance of a theatrical release? I work as a projectionist in a small one screen movie theatre on the weekends. I would be happy to try and arrange a showing at our theatre.
I'm feeling good about this Mr. Waterman. You went from $5k to $7.5k in 2 days.
I'm excited!!!!
Well, I said I would and I did. I hope this reaches the goal man! you know I'm pulling for ya 110%!!
@Alfie - Actually, "The Waterman Movie" DVD will include the entire "Waterman" series along with a ton of bonus features!
just had a most excellent Idea, why dont you put your previous work onto a dvd, and sell it via your site, then use that to also help fund your movie... am just sayin...
Well, I've known Bryan since 2002 and I gotta say, he is the most talented and funny guy you'll ever meet but even more importantly, he's the nicest man you'd ever want to meet. That said, if you ever meet him in person don't get to close cause he smells. I think it's his feet. Anyway, Bryan, you can count on me to spread the word and donate myself! I love you man!
Love you're video's, and I am going to donate... just as soon as I find my dedit card.
You know even though It was awesome I cant find your reel big fish episode anywere!!!
I still have a lot of faith in reaching our goal. We just have to keep spreading the good word Kyle!
Hm... It looks like interest is fading a bit. Anyone have any ideas?
I just joined because of your project. I surfed on because of another saw yours and BAM! I don't even remember the name of the other. Damn shame. I'm happy to back you. Wish I could come in around $1,000, but I am now gamefully unemployed sooo $20 is all I can do. If I get a job before the deadline, I'll be back with $980 more! Good Luck Brian!
good luck
good luck
I'm in for $20 so far. More friends are noticing and promoting. You need to keep reminding everyone what wont happen if the goal is not met by the deadline. I'll keep plugging for you guys.
@ Suzanne - Thanks so much Suzanne and welcome to my world! Enjoy!
@ Jeremiah - That's a pretty good place to start. Episode nine is my favorite :)
@ Justin - You can pledge and always go back to increase it!
@ Jeffery - I really hope we can finish this project to. Thanks for your pledge my man!
@ Nathan - Much obliged my dear friend.
Hi Bryan! I have been a fan of yours for a good 5 minutes - glad that I checked this site because you are hilarious. Keep those video updates coming - I am going to check out more Waterman episodes right now – the first one hooked me.
Good luck and if I am able to increase my pledge I definitely will!
Hey, I came in around episode 7 (Enitocin FTW!), and have been a huge fan of the series. I've popped onto the website every few months hoping for a status update on the movie, and I have to say, I'm proud to support this project. I'll do my best to use my limited youtube audience to help give some support. I can't wait to see this dream become a reality. HERE'S TO DREAMING BIG AND BUBBLE GUM EYEBALLS!
(Like everyone else, I'm also not sure where this goes, but under the pledge section it says "specify t-shirt size" so, XL please!)
Oh, well hello comments section which I was previously unaware existed.
I wonder if I can back this movie from two different payment methods. I wonder, because I have a Visa gift card worth between $4 and $5, and I'm planning to get a debit or credit card soon. So I'd basically empty out my gift card and pay around $30 from my other card if I could.
Anyways, I highly anticipate this movie's completion! Especially since I've been watching since the pilot's release on Newgrounds. Go Waterman!
Best of luck,
Justin
Hey Brian Waterman,
I just pledged $20. I really hope you are able to finish this project. I've been watching your series since 2005 and I've taken a lot of inspiration from your work.
Good luck

Within ONE HOUR of finding out about the film hopefully get made after all this time, Bryan having another site other then the waterman one and the fan in me came out and I have already backed this project!!!
I want to see it get made and Bryan's dream come true :) it's hard to find money to make films but when it's helping a guy that made me laugh with his cartoons i know i can find some money to give!
Wow, Wilder! That would be insane. Thanks a million!
Bryan,
I am a huge fan of your show, I am more than honored to back you on this! It is not much, whatever I can give to help! I sure hope this happens!
Moving some funds around. I'll hopefully be able to give the full 1,000 that I planned on soon enough. Just gotta make sure that 52 days from now it will actually be there, haha.
It feels eerie that after waiting this long this project finally has a chance to finish. Can;t wait and know it will be amazing.
Not sure where I'm supposed to put this, but I'll take a large t-shirt.
