CN UK Interstitial - Carnival (2005)

[spinstadium]

Operation S.A.V.E. was a 3-D Codename: Kids Next Door Shockwave game available for purchase on the Super Cartoon Network United Kingdom website in 2006. It was made by Skive.

The player controlled Numbuh 4, collecting 5 types of water gun weapons to use against Stickybeard and his crew. In order to progress, sweets also had to be collected. According to the KND Wiki, S.A.V.E. had six total levels. The first two levels were once available to play on the site for free. While the free two-level version of the game can still be found around the internet today, the full version is lost media. The majority of the above images were taken from the lead developer Ben Pitt's website, robotduck.com.

I kinda wish this channel was still around

Status Post #10922: Back in October 2002, Cartoon Network UK launched a spinoff channel called CNX, which was the closest thing to a UK version of Adult Swim before being rebranded as Toonami UK a year later.

Robot Jones on Cartoon Network UK (2004)

This show only aired briefly on the network, despite airing for at least a year in the US. It's strange because while it took Robot Jones over a year to get to us, similar short-lived shows like Secret Mountain Fort Awesome and Out of Jimmy's Head never aired here.

The entire series is available on HBO Max but only in Latin America for some reason (but thanks to the internet, you can easily find free episodes online if you look hard enough lol).

Happy Sock-O-ween!

Here's my final sock puppet for this year...

Is it wrong to be fearing of linear 📺?

BBC is getting affected thanks to the license fee drama & I'm scared it will happen to others. It sworn that anything of linear 📺 will 🔚 in the 2030s.

So far, I feel nerved over Nickelodeon in the 🇬🇧 & Cartoon Network Europe would not exist in the future. I don't want Freeview gone either!

I even believe streaming could be a ⚠️ & 🦥 habit & a 🗑 of 💸, overrated. I would just be going for 👍👵💿📀 anytime. I want to do anything to protect. I love to use NOW for Fireman Sam, iCarly, Victorius & more. And SAVE CITV

P.S: TV networks just advertise their streaming surfaces way too much, they should just🤚

This is just my opinion. But what do you 🤔? And please don't put negative cautions which will upset me

Obscure Animation Subject #194: YooHoo & Friends (David Feiss version)

Ah yes, YooHoo & Friends, a South Korean animated series based on the toyline by Aurora World. The series ran for 65 half-hour episodes, each with two 11-minute segments, airing on KBS2 and KBS1 from July 2, 2009 to April 9, 2015. It even got a CGI revival by the name of YooHoo to the Rescue, which was co-produced with Italy and ran through 3 seasons of 52 11-minute episodes on Frisbee from March 15, 2019 to March 25, 2020.

But, what if I told you that the series had a gag dub in order to seen as successful to Western audiences? Well, enter Konnie Kwak, en executive who owned his own studio by the name of Toonzone Studios (not to be confused with the short-lived Korean studio Toonzone Entertainment that animated two episodes of The Simpsons). He thought the toys were cute and wanted them sold in the American market, but didn’t like its tie-in TV series for not having much Western appeal. As such, he wanted the American version of the series to be aimed at older children ages 6 to 12. Kwak was a huge fan of Cow and Chicken, and contracted its creator David Feiss in order for the series to appeal to Western audiences. Inspired by Woody Allen's What's Up, Tiger Lily?, where a foreign film was redubbed with an entirely different story, Feiss took that approach and made many changes to the South Korean series. Feiss had a home across from Flavor Flav, in which the latter agreed to voice an original character not in the original series Father Time, a guide for the main characters and the narrator of each episode. Flav would also later collaborate with Feiss for Hitpig!, where Flav voiced Chef Emcee. Although the series was mainly produced in the United States and Canada, with Moonscoop US handling distribution, there was one problem. Aurora World themselves actually created their own English dub of the series that was more faithful to the original show, released on Amazon Prime Video in North American territories in 2011. As such, this gag dub didn’t air in North American territories as it may cause legal issues. It did see the light of day on Cartoon Network in Latin America, ABC in Australia and Pop in the United Kingdom, with this version running for 26 half-hours, which is basically the entire first season of the original series but as I stated was made for an older audience, from January 8 to August 20, 2012. Upset about the Aurora dub, Toonzone filed a lawsuit against Aurora over the contractual copyrights in 2013. The lawsuit failed however, and Toonzone filed for bankruptcy as a result, while Aurora sold the licensing to Lawless Entertainment in June 2014, there for making a second season of the gag dub not happening at all.

You know, that is a shame really, as this gag dub had the potential to succeed and thrive, especially in North America, which ended up not happening. Anyways, the scripts were written by Tom Krajewski with Feiss being the director. Each episode has about 4 minutes of new and original animation, which was outsourced from Toonzone Korea (again no relation to Toonzone Entertainment), Neon Pumpkin and Toonzone Canada. While Toonzone Korea animates the series traditionally, the latter two studios used flash instead. Because the changes in the animation can get jarring, here I have documents detailing what episodes the studios are credited in while also making assumptions if the episodes have their studios incorrectly credited.

But enough of my rambling. What is this version of YooHoo & Friends about? Well, five executives were apart of a corporation named Nasty Corp, and Mother Nature notices them trying to destroy the world. She convinced her husband Father Time to give the executive their own medicine by turning them into small furry creatures to save the world caused by their corrupt human selfs, while finding gemstones that Father Time would hide throughout the places Nasty Corp caused trouble for, and if all were collected Father Time grants a special wish for them.

I have to say, as someone who doesn’t like the original show, I find this gag dub to be interesting. It features satirical nature of how corporations treated the environment and the dialogue also sounds a lot funnier. The whole concept of this gag dub is pure genius really, and that theme song is a banger! Sure the animation is inconsistent but I can forgive it as the series was fun all the way through! I recommend checking this one out especially if you’re a fan of the works of David Feiss, because it’s creative, witty and absolutely hilarious the whole ride though!

People? In MY computer?? It's more likely than you think!

The following is a fanvertisment and is not connected to the show. ****Yet.*** *Also yes, this is the fourth time I'm posting this because TUMBLR WONT LET ME EDIT SPELLING MISTAKES!

ANYWAY,

Once upon a time, back in 1987, Dire Straits put out this music video for “Money for Nothing”, which, as you know, was a song about wanting my MTV. 

The video was made by two guys (Gavin Blair and Ian Pearson) on a very moody computer. After the video went out, these two guys went to a pub:

Ian: “Hey, we should make a whole show like this!”

Gavin: “Dude, making three minutes almost killed us.”

And so it was decided!🎉

The two guys were joined by two other guys (Phil Mitchell and John Grace) and created the Hub, which then became Mainframe Entertainment. They got even more people, and then they all holed up in this hotel.

They were mad lads with a dream: a whole cgi animated show, and they made it happen a whole year before Toy Story!

Behold! ReBoot!

(Yes that fever dream was real)

Now before I get any of this:

Let me lay this down. If you can’t with the animation of the first season because it was CUTTING EDGE IN 1994, you can close your eyes and listen to it. ReBoot wasn’t just a CGI gimmick. The characters are fully developed, the voice actors are peerless, the plot is sharp, and there’s so many easter eggs that you’ll never find them all.

Never

(And yes the episode "Bad Bob" was the actual catalyst for Fury Road. Look it up)

ReBoot is about what life is like in a computer (in the 90s, because it was the 90s) called Mainframe (because of course it is). People are sprites, the guys that look like 1s and 0s are binomes (which represent 1s and 0s). Bad guys are viruses, and the good guy is a Guardian named Bob, who is a certified cinnamon roll.

In the first season the eps are light and self-contained, mainly because there was constant friction between the Mainframe studios and the Board of Standards and Practices.

They still got away with some pretty dark stuff, like Megabyte (virus) making Enzo (the kid) watch his dog get sliced open (dog got away, obviously) , Dot (sprite) have a hallucinatory breakdown, and the fridge horror of realizing the thousands of worm things (nulls) that plunged off a bridge to their death were actually people.

And Hex's (virus

best girl) scary face single-handedly traumatized an entire generation. 🙂

But busting through a window was a no go, because WhAt If tHe cHiLdReN dID iT tOo?

Anyway, halfway through the second season, ABC cut them loose, so they were like, fuck it, we’re going to start going hard. The story shifted from episodic to arcs and things start to get serious.

Third season the show moved to YTV in Canada, which gave no fucks about shielding the innocent children.

So it got DARK

How dark?

The UK refused to show the entire season, so the audience there had to wait until pirated copies made it across the pond to see how it ended.

Also by 1997, the animation was gorgeous. (Best example of third season animation I could think of that didn't have spoilers)

The show was green-lit for a fourth season on Cartoon Network, but halfway through production Warner Bros took over and the same fucking thing happened.

Because Mainframe was halfway done, they decided not to scrap all of it, but knowing they wouldn't be able to finish it correctly, Mainframe stripped anything that would hint at Season Four's true ending, then left what remained on a cliff-hanger of angst.

FOR 22 YEARS

(It's also why the last four eps of season four seem to make no sense)

And so it was.

Other crap happened, the soul left Mainframe, and its animated corpse spat out “The Guardian Code” in 2018. 

But never say die! The year is (almost) 2024, 30 years later. ReBoot shall rise from the dead, because here come the documentary!!

Do you dare see what you’ve been missing?

What the (UK) government doesn’t want you to know?? 

Then come on down to ReBoot!

We got:

Magnificent bastards with sexy voices!

(Tony Jay at his best)

Kickass women who could probably crush your head with their thighs and you’d enjoy it!

Innuendos in a kid's show!

💗 This adorable cinnamon roll!! 💗

Insane third season glow-ups!

YOUR NEW GOD

These guys!

(Gay roller-skating binome is my boi. I named him Jerry)

Nonstop cultural refs (You'll never find them all. Never.)

(There are literally videos dedicated to trying)

So many computer puns!

Body Horror!

Existential Crisis!

HAVE I MENTIONED YOUR NEW GOD?

This is it, folks! The real thing, the gem hidden in the moose-filled forests of Canadia!🌲🌲🌲

Take a trip inside a mid-90’s computer!

See the World Wide Web! (omg):

Witness the original purple Gamecubes that randomly fall from the sky when the owner of the computer (OUR GOOD LORD THE USER) wants to play a game. If it lands on people and they lose, they dissolve into mindless energy leeches, fated to tormented by their former bretheren for all of eternity.

Just like in real life! 🙃

So watch the eps! They on YouTube!

I think they're on Pluto, Hulu, Sling, and Tubi too! Also DVDs for people who have the patience to wait for them!

WATCH! BELIEVE! SUFFER THE SOUL-CRUSHING RAGE OF THE SEASON 4 CLIFF-HANGER!* (come on, its fun!)*

HYPE THE DOC!

The more people hype, the better the chances of actually getting it finished.

NOW SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE!

And now I will leave you with this screenshot from the ep "Painted Windows", where dicks can clearly be seen drawn upon the wall behind the fleeing anthropomorphized television.

(PS: If you heard the clown pic at the top of the page in your head, you're welcome)
