History
Mala Miles was born in 1960 and has directed a lot of films, beginning in 1980. He is most commonly known for being the creator of the Malachi Universal franchise. He had founded his own companies, Bear Bones Productions (formerly known as Mala Miles Productions) in 1975.

As a kid, he spent his time drawing cartoon ants. Miles says his inspirations to be an animator were from watching Looney Tunes, MGM Cartoons, Popeye, and Tom and Jerry.

In 1978, he began his animation career, starting with working at Hanna-Barbera. He left the studio in the early 1990s, following the acquisition by Turner Entertainment. In 1995, Mala Miles returned to Hanna-Barbera to produce a series of shorts for What-a-Cartoon!.

Mala never felt like Malachi Universal was ever gonna take off, and nearly called off the show, but a chance meeting with "Weird Al" Yankovic resulted in Mala gaining confidence to start up the series.

As of 2017, Kyle is serving as a chef in New York City, while Kelly has a career in film and television in Los Angeles and Zig has a career as an anime voice actor.
