THAT'S EXACTLY IT!!! I found it shortly after I posted this! Thank you so much. That show is absolutely terrifying.
This has been driving me crazy. I can see almost everything in my head but it's super blurry. Only one of my friends remembers a TINY amount of it, but the memory is super blurry.
This was when I lived in Malaysia around 2003 - 2009, but I'm pretty certain the animation was European. It was about this purple urban city/town and had a few odd human like (?) characters. The animation is akin to the typical bad 90s/early 2000s cgi, like Reboot, but the town was designed with a whimsical feel to it. I remember it being on late at night, on either Cartoon Network or
The streets were like cobble stoned and the houses - search 'french old cobble stone city streets' into google images
And everything was a shade of purple, there's an image which really reminded me of it - search 'Spooky graveyard with moon at night time lapse' (I cannot link image urls on this site) - The moon seemed very prominent.
I mainly remember feeling very unsettled by the animation and everything about the show. Everything was slow and drawn out. And the crude facial expressions were like uncanny, but at the same time bad animation. I specifically remember that it was non verbal and had no language, just vocal expression.The buildings were all purple and there were roof top areas and balconies.
Regarding the characters, I remember the main person being very large (yellow) and he had a (red?) umbrella, he had a lowish sounding voice - he sort of reminds me of a yellow Big the Cat from the Sonic series, or even Totoro - he had very empty eyes and sounded super dumb - he lived in a flat in one of the purple houses. Another character was a shorter lankier male... I vaguely remember him wearing something stripy and he wore a beanie hat, he had a big freakish smile, like the Hamburgler. In one episode I think I remember the big cat guy cutting his finger, and drops of cgi blood slowly coming out and him making a low wailing panic noise.
I am so sorry for the seriously lacking story/anything, it's so blurry but the memory is so vivid! Does that make any sense? I really hope it rings bells for at least someone, and someone could help me out here, it's making me feel like a crazy person. Please! Thank you so much!!
