Neil Patrick Harris is a multi-talented, Tony-winning actor, singer, and dancer, but he’s ready to explore new skills and discover hidden talents.

Together, they explore facial expressions, body shapes, and using paper scraps to inspire unexpected characters. Then, Neil takes his doodling to the next level and tries animating for the first time. Want to join in and work along with them?
