Niles' Hilarious Animated Dissertation on Marrying Maris in Frasier Remake [Exclusive Clip]

Summary

The upcoming animated rendition of Frasier's season 1 finale, "My Coffee With Niles," features different artists bringing their own unique styles to the story.

The talented cast of Our Frasier Remake features Emmy-winner Eric Bauza, SAG-Award winner Lauren Lapkus, and other gifted actors. This independent production embraces artistic diversity and presents fans with a fresh outlook on the beloved Frasier series. Catch it on YouTube and the project's website from October 11.

Just before Paramount+ reveals its highly-anticipated Frasier revival, an animated adaptation of Seattle's beloved psychiatrist will emerge online. While the upcoming show led by Kelsey Grammar follows Frasier's journey to reconnect with his son, Our Frasier Remake takes a different approach. It is an animated interpretation of the acclaimed show's season 1 finale. However, it is not a straightforward replica. Instead, each section of the episode is animated by a different artist, infusing their own unique style into the story.

The voice cast for Our Frasier Remake is also different from the original show, but equally thrilling. The lineup includes Emmy-winner Eric Bauza (known for Looney Tunes), SAG-Award winner Lauren Lapkus (from Jurassic World), BenDeLaCreme (featured in The Jinkx and DeLa Holiday Special), James Adomian (known for Harley Quinn), Daniel Van Kirk (featured in Bob’s Burgers), Rekha Shankar (from Grand Crew), and Haley Hepworth (featured in Just For Laughs New Faces). Creator Jacob Reed selected the season 1 finale, titled "My Coffee With Niles," specifically for its exploration of Frasier's happiness – a theme that was relevant in his Cheers days and is sure to resonate in the next chapter of his onscreen life.

What sets Our Frasier Remake apart is the wide variety of art styles displayed in this short clip alone. This project not only brings together numerous actors and artists in a collaborative effort amid industry-wide strikes, but it also celebrates the richness of artistic diversity. Fans of Frasier, who may have memorized every frame of the original series, can now experience it in a whole new light through the perspectives of other creative individuals. This notion is particularly worth considering as Paramount releases their continuation of this beloved property.
