“The Tiny Chef Show” is for children, but people of all ages were horrified when Netflix canceled the live-action animation series after three seasons.

The backlash began in June, when the show’s creators uploaded an animated video to social media that showed Tiny Chef getting a call from Nickelodeon. The green humanoid creature, voiced by Matt Hutchinson, began to cry after hearing that his Emmy-winning show had been canceled.

“But what about … all my friends?” Tiny Chef asked. After hanging up the call, he tried to resume his chores, but soon broke down in tears. Social media users were devastated by Tiny Chef’s suffering.
