The History of Hailey’s On It
Ever watched the show Hailey’s On It? It’s on Disney Channel, it’s created by Devin Bunje and Nick Stanton, and it’s about a teenage girl with a robot sidekick, and her best friend time traveling and solving all the world’s problems. But before this, there was an original concept. Here we go!
Tumblr media
The original concept of a girl and her robot sidekick was Nickelodeon’s recently mothballed The Modifyers created by Lynne Naylor and Chris Reccardi. It was going to be a show about Agent Xero (voiced by Mae Whitman, the voice of Tinker Bell) with her sidekick, Mole, fighting crime against the evil Baron Veign. Nickelodeon saw this and didn’t want it on their network due to female-led shows failing. There was a large fanbase knowing when the series would be greenlit. However, in 2019, Chris Reccardi died of a sudden heart attack while windsurfing, making the outcome more uncertain.
Tumblr media
In 2020, Universal’s subsidiary, DreamWorks Animation Television hired Lynne Naylor to team up with Sunil Hall and created The Mighty Ones in 2020, which was critically ravaged and lasted for four seasons, killing Lynne Naylor’s career.
Tumblr media
In the wake of Lynne Naylor losing her career, Devin Bunje and Nick Stanton used the concept of a teenage girl and her robot sidekick and created Hailey’s On It, the show began in 2023 and stars Hailey Banks (voiced by Aulili Cravo, the voice for Moana) with her robot sidekick, Beta, her friend, Scott Denoga time traveling, and solving the world problems. The show has 30 episodes, and hopefully, will get 3 more seasons, and hopefully it will be all good, and won’t have seasons 3 and 4 be bad just like Star vs. the Forces of Evil, but is should be great.

Shows That Deserve a Second Chance!
Hi! How y'all doing? Okay, time to get to the nitty gritty this is just my opinion on shows that deserve a second chance!
As we all know by now it doesn't matter if a show is popular or big the fandom is a show will get cancelled for no (and incredibly stupid) reason or never got to make it on the TV screen at all!
Due to Tumblr's limitation on pictures, I'll just do a select few series based on: never aired, messed up by the network but still had an ending, & messed up by the network.
Also, no show is in any particular order I just put them in randomly and if there are more shows that have been unjustly cancel/ never aired please be free to add some to the post.
This is purely for fun and if there is a show you like that got cancelled you may add it to the list.
Let's Begin:
First, are the shows that never aired but had amazing pilots.
1.The Modifiers
Tumblr media
The Modifiers was created by Lynne Naylor & Chris Reccardi who pitched the idea to Nickelodeon.
The series is set in 1960's mod style/ steampunk/ magical girl/retrofuturism world focused on Agent Xero and her sidekick Mole who work for a secret agency known as The Modifiers in their quest to stop the evil Baron Vain and his rat sidekick named Rat (no, really, he's a rat named Rat). In the series Agent Xero disguises herself as Lacey Shadows to go undercover and foil Baron Vain plans, the twist of Rat knows that Agent Xero and Lacey Shadows are one in the same and tries to expose them.
Seeing how the modifiers had the same reteo style as My Life As A Teenage Robot, The Mighty B, and Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi (owned by Cartoon Network), it would've made a great addition to the line up plus another girl boss series!
Despite the positive feedback and petitions the show has not been picked up and Chris Reccardi tragically passed away 2019 due to a heart attack, leaving ownership to Lynne Naylor.
PILOT, INFO
2.Carmen Got Expelled
Tumblr media
Carmen Got Expelled was created by Jorge R. Gutierrez and was pitched to Disney Television Animation.
The series follows a young girl named Carmen who was expelled from her last school from defending her classmates from a group of bullies. While it looks like Carmen will face punishment (for actually doing the right thing and being a good person), good - karma steps in the form of The Baron who enrolls Carmen in his private academy. Sadly, Headmistress Gnarly and her niece Yvonne try to do everything in their power to get Carmen in trouble and get her expelled for good. Luckily, Carmen has her friends Bing, Ozzy, and Johnny (*coughCRUSHcough*) to get her out of trouble!
The reason the show wasn't picked was because the network didn't think it would do well with audience and wanted Carmen's race to be changed and be a girl who loves rules. WOW, REALLY?!? I think if Jorge pitched the idea to Nickelodeon, it might have worked since his show El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera was already on that channel and would've made a good crossover.
After being rejected, Jorge worked on The Book of Life film that also was rejected for a while only to become a- SUCCESS!
PILOT, INFO
3. The Kitty Bobo Show
Tumblr media
The Kitty Bobo Show was created by Kevin Kaliher & Meaghan Dunn and was pitched to Cartoon Network during their 2001 Big Pick competition where the viewers picked who would win. The winner became the classic show Codename: Kids Next Door!
The series focused on Kitty Bobo an anthropomorphic cat living in a big city along with other anthropomorphic animals and had it continued would've explored more of Kitty Bobo, his adoptive parents who are dogs, and his friends. In the pilot 'Cellphones' the plot was of Kitty Bobo trying to look cool and impress everyone with his new (now dated) cellphone.
The show is now a cult classic and had many petitions to become an actual show. Apparently, the creators want to continue the pilot from this Instagram post. If it does happen, I think it would work best teens/young adults on Adult Swim.
PILOT, INFO, 1
4.Princess Academy
Tumblr media
Princess Academy was created by Olivier Ciappa and David Kawena and was pitched to Disney. It was supposed to be an animated short that was also a musical not just featuring the famous Disney Princesses, but also many other female leads at a boarding school. Sadly, the project was canceled due to Disney getting rid of its 2-D animation department (another bad decision).
This is just an educated guess, but from the concept art a little girl got accept into the Princess Academy and got to interact with her favorite characters and at the end of the short more students would arrive and meet their favorite leading ladies.
Seeing how big the Disney Princess fandom is, I'm surprised this was passed up. I mean HELLO! You got all the Disney Princesses and the other female leads in one place, I think this would've been a success!
INFO, 1
5. Oswald the Lucky Rabbit the Series
Tumblr media
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit the Series was planned to premier on Disney+ and had many announcements and people excited for the return of Oswald, only to be disappointed (AGAIN!) when news hit they weren't doing the show.
After, all poor Oswald has gone through: Walt losing custody over him in divorce court, abandoned, and forgotten; give the poor guy a break and let him have his show!
Despite all that Oswald has made cameos in Mickey Mouse shorts, The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse, Once Upon A Studio, and his own short. There's still hope he'll join his brother again soon.
PILOT, INFO
6. Epic Mickey 3
Tumblr media
After, the return of Oswald and success of Epic Mickey, there were plans for an Epic Mickey 3, but sadly never came.
This would've helped Oswald's popularity and maybe make Epic Mickey into a TV/movie series featuring the two brothers, but at this time that's wishful thinking.
INFO
7. Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls
Tumblr media
Created by Lauren Faust pitched to Hasbro.
The series would focus on eleven girls who are the personifications of planets. The pilot was about Milky Way accidently releasing the evil Black Hole and would meet the other girls to help fight. Sadly, it was passed over in favor of the popular My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
Lauren had ragdolls and a (now out of print) book released in hopes of making it a series, she even has some concept art on her Deviantart page.
Over time Lauren redesigned the girls so hopes and wishes that it becomes a series!
INFO, 1
8. Toil and Trouble
Tumblr media
Created by Lauren Faust pitched to Netflix.
Lauren tried to pitch the series Toil and Trouble freaturing an orphan witch named Toil and her cat Trouble as they try to learn magic and save the witch world.
When, production for the project began Netflix decided to stop the show before it began.
SERIOUSLY, HOW DARE WHOEVER DECIDED TO CAN THIS SHOW DENY THE QUEEN HER RIGHT TO CREATE!
This so would've made a hit especially since Laurn worked on: The Powerpuff Girls, MLP:FIM, Kid Cosmic, Wander Over Yonder, and etc! But, not to worry y'all Lauren still has the rights and will most likely have it produced by someone else (hopefully)!
INFO, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
9. Me and My Shadow
Tumblr media
Me And My Shadow created by Maya Forbes & Wallace Wolodarsky and pitched to Dreamworks.
Me And My Shadow follows Daniel (human) and Dan (shadow) as they two work together to stop an evil shadow from staring an uprising against shadows and humans. Along the way Dan help Daniel gain some confidence and form a friendship.
THIS FILM HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL!
It merged 2D & 3D animation, had an amazing story, a good cast of characters; what more could you want?
Sadly, it was passed over by other films and despite protest and a petition Dreamworks refused to budge.
Not only would this film bring back Dreamworks animation department and could've been a rise for 2D animation to come back!
INFO, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
10. Bye Bye Bunny: A Looney Tunes Musical
Tumblr media
Bye Bye Bunny would be about Bugs Bunny tired of being in the spotlight and wanting the life of a regular bunny. This becomes Daffy's big break to step out of Bug's shadow and become a star only to be kidnapped by an obsessive fan of his (talk about irony). Bugs and the others go on an epic quest to save Daffy with hijanks, adventure, and heartfelt moments.
Sadly, the project was canceled which is a huge crime. The story was the perfect star wants to leave the spotlight, we could've seen more of Bugs and Daffy's friendship, and the song 'Why Do I Gotta Be Bugs Bunny' was just so heart wrenching beautiful. This would've been great to release during Warner Bros. 100 Anniversary and give the Looney Tunes franchise some more attention.
INFO, 1, 2
2. Shows messed up by the network but still had an ending
The Owl House
Tumblr media
The Owl House created by Dana and aired on Disney.
The Owl House followed the story of Luz a teenage girl who has a love all things weird and magically gets sent to a 'normal' camp after one of her antics get her in trouble. But as fate intervened Luz stumbles upon the Boiling Isles and meets Eda the Owl Lady, King the king of demons, and Hooty the Owl House. To fulfill her dreams of becoming a witch Luz becomes Eda apprentice and explores the mysterious of the Boiling Isles.
The Owl House was a huge hit with fans and the LGBTQ community, and it bites that it was cancelled/shortened during season three. Dana had more ideas for season 3 for example: a beach episode, info on Hooty (don't lie we all want to know what Hooty is), and etc.
The reason the Owl House was canceled was because Disney exs didn't think it fit into their brand... What fit? They threw away a precious gemstone in the trash when they made that decision.
Dana Terrace, whatever your next project is I know it will be a success.
INFO, 1, 2,
2. Ducktales (2017)
Tumblr media
Ducktales (2017) created by Matt Youngberg & Francisco Angones and aired on Disney.
Ducktales follows Huey, Dewey, Louie, their friend Webby, uncle Donald, and great uncle Scrooge, as they go on epic adventures, find rare items & hidden worlds, and a long-lost family secret.
Ducktales had a great start and a huge fanbase, but sadly it wasn't getting the ratings Disney wanted, switching channels, and bad marketing.
I really wish this show continued and had each character have their own season, but it did have a good ending.
INFO
3. Danny Phantom
Danny Phantom created by Butch Hartman and aired on Nickelodeon.
Tumblr media
Danny Phantom follows the story of Danny Fenton who gained ghosts powers after a freak accident. With his best friends Tucker and Sam, Danny uses his powers to protect everyone against evil ghosts, humans, and the horrors of high school. To make matters worse Danny has to keep his ghost identity a secret from his parents who are ghost hunters!
Despite the show's popularity it didn't reach the same goal as Fairly Oddparents or Spongebob (or so I'm told). Despite that Danny Phantom had an ending, but it was kinda a divide in the fandom.
It was said had the series continued: we'd find out more about the Ghost Zone, more characters, and most importantly: Danielle would've been adoptive by the Fentons!
4. The Amazing World of Gumball
Tumblr media
The Amazing World of Gumball created by Ben Bocquelet and aired on Cartoon Network.
The Amazing World of Gumball follows the story of Gumball as he gets into random shenanigans in his town of Elmore along with his best friend/adoptive brother Darwin, and little sister Anais.
The show has been praised for its mixed media animation, humor, and storytelling. The last episode ended in a cliffhanger leaving many fans unsatisfied.
There were plans for a movie that Ben said would resolve the cliffhanger only for it to be shelved (along with other shows/movies) due to the HBO (HB -NO). I tried to find more information, but the only other information I found was that it 'might' still be in production and be bought by a different network. Again, I'm playing by ear.
INFO , 1, 2
5. Wander Over Yonder
Tumblr media
Wander Over Yonder was created by Craig McCracken and aired on Disney.
Wander Over Yonder follows the story of a friendly alien nomad named Wander with his best friend and stead Sylvia travel all over the galaxy going from planet to planet. While on their journey they run into Lord Hater who wants to take over the galaxy.
Disney ended WOY after season 2 and there were plans for a season 3 and would've been the final season.
Craig had plans to expand the story that didn't happened (maybe even travel to Earth?); after WOY cancellation Craig went to work on Kid Cosmic for Netflix.
INFO, 1 , 2
6. Samurai Jack
Tumblr media
Samurai Jack was created by Genndy Tartakovsky and aired on Cartoon Network.
Samauri Jack follows the story of a Samauri named Jack and his battle with the evil demon Aku. Before Jack can defeat Aku with his sword Aku uses his powers and sends Jack into the future where Aku is the ruler. Jack travels through many lands in his search to find a way to the past, fix the future, and defeat Aku!
The only problem with the final episode was it took - 13 YEARS - to finish! Adult Swim revived the series in 2017 giving the fans a satisfying ending.
Everyone originally thought that season four that ended in 2004 would end in a cliffhanger. I guess that if it did end around the early 2000's the ending would be different since Genndy and the crew would've had other ideas. I'm happy that the series had the ending it had, but let's be honest do we really want to wait so long for a proper ending?
3. Shows messed up by the network
Infinity Train
Tumblr media
Infinity Train was created by Owen Dennis and aired on Cartoon Network.
Infinity Train was at first a mini-series that focused on Tulip a young girl who's dealing with the divorce of her parents decides to run away from home to escape her home life. Tulip ends up on the mysterious Infinity Train and meets a robotic creature known as One-One and a strange green glowing number on her hands. Knowing the longer she's on the train the more danger she's in Tulip, One-One, and Atticus the King of Corginia, travel throughout the train to find The Conductor and send Tulip on. Afterwards we see different passengers travel the train going through different types of traumas and learning to heal.
Despite Owen having a total of eight books ( book five being Ameila's backstory), a passenger being traumatized by the train only to return on it, and even a Christmas special, Infinity Train went to HBO Max streaming service, was canceled after book 4 because execs decided it wasn't fit for kids and became one of many victims of the 2022 HBO Purge.
After much protest from the TV/FILM community Infinity Train books 1 & 2 can now be purchased on DVD (not giving up on the other books) and downloaded from online stores.
Once again, a great show canceled and destroyed by corporate greed!
INFO, 1, 2,
2.Ever After High
Tumblr media
Ever After High was created by Mattel books by Shannon Hale & Suzanne Selfors.
Ever After High focus on the teenage sons & daughters (and non-binary) of legendary fairy tales. The children are sent to Ever After High School to learn how to follow the same steps as their parents. But Raven Queen the daughter of the Evil Queen, isn't evil and doesn't want to follow in her mother's footsteps. On the other hand, Apple White the daughter of Snow White wants to follow in her mother's footsteps and be the perfect queen. This divides the school into two separate parties: the Royals (those who want to follow their predetermined destinies) and the Rebels (those who want to rewrite their stories) and causes a shift in the fairy tale world.
Being a toy line Ever After High relied on their doll sells to fuel the books and web series. After Disney's Descendants release Mattel knew they couldn't compete, ending the Royal/Rebel debate too early, and cheaper doll lines the series was canceled.
There were plans for more dolls, books, and sadly characters that have been seen since the beginning never got dolls.
In my honest opinion they shouldn't have ended the Royal/Rebel debate in Way Too Wonderland, that's more of a final season kinda thing and it's hard to come up with more stories after jumping the shark like that.
INFO, 1, 2
3.Star Darlings
Tumblr media
Star Darlings was created by Shana Muldoon Zappa and Ahmet Zappa.
Star Darlings was a book and miniseries focused on twelve Starling girls (humanoid creatures who live on Starland) who attend the prodigies Starling Academy to learn to grant wishlings (humans) wishes only to find out they are the legendary Star Darlings destined to save their world and Wish World (Earth) from negative energy!
Honestly Star Darlings was a victim of bad advertising and Disney no giving it enough attention. The books had so much information on the characters, lore, and etc. while the cartoon only had shorts and was on random times. The cartoon had an ending, but the books were left on a cliffhanger.
INFO
4. Super Best Friends Forever/ DC Super Hero Girls (2019)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Created by Lauren Frost and aired on Cartoon Network.
I'm listing this as a two-parter.
Super Best Friends Forever was a series of shorts featuring Batgirl, Wonder Girl, and Supergirl, three superhero teens fighting crime and getting into hilarious hi-jinks.
Lauren was denied turning SBFF into a series due to marketing.
In 2019 Lauren would later do the second installment of DC Super Hero Girls another group of superhero girls who battle the evils of high school and Metropolis.
Many fans argued which version is superior.
To be honest I wish Donna wasn't replaced with Diana, Diana and Zatanna weren't de-aged along with a bunch of other adult characters, the adult heroes were mentors to the girls, could've added more teen heroes that still haven't made their TV debut, not make the guys jerks/useless, and the setting wasn't just in Metropolis. But that's just my two cents.
INFO, 1, 2, 3, 4
5. RWBY & Camp Camp
Tumblr media Tumblr media
RWBY created by Monty Oum & Camp Camp created by Miles Luna and Jordan Cwierz both aired on Rooster Teeth.
RWBY story is about the four members of Team RWBY (Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang) who attend Beacon Academy to become huntsmen and huntswomen to protect the world from evil creatures known as Grimm, but as the series progresses, we learn more about the characters, lore, and world of Remnant.
Camp Camp focuses on campers (Max, Nikki, and Neil) & camp counselors (David and Gwen) who attend a shady & dysfunctional run-down camp known as, Camp Campbell. Instead of a traditional camp like space camp, sports camp, or adventure camp, Camp Campbell combines them all to save cost and avoid being sued.
While I was at school my art teacher told the class that a famous artist had died from an allergic reaction, but she neglected to tell who the artist was. Later on, I found out about RWBY and Camp Camp and while digging into the shows' history/ creators I realized Monty Oum was the artist my teacher was talking about.
Due to Rooster Teeth shutting down both series futures are in the air. I was lucky enough to meet Michael and Lindsey Jones the voice actors from RWBY and Camp Camp & a cool Oscar cosplayer LINK. I overheard him asking them when the next season for each show would come out, both replied that "I can't promise anything.", and that scared me a little. I really hope new seasons come out soon since I would hate for both series to go.
INFO, 1
6. Invader Zim
Tumblr media
Invader Zim created by Jhonen Vasquez and aired on Nickelodeon.
Invader Zim focused on an Invader named Zim of the Irken Empire who wants to impress his leaders, The Tallest, after failing Operation Impending DOOM 1 after he destroyed his own planet. The Tallest give him a snipe hunt by sending him to the planet Earth. On Earth Zim disguises as a normal *HA* human boy and his SIR unit named Gir as an adorable green dog as they collect info on the planet to conquer it. Unfortunately, Zim forms a rivalry with a junior paranormal investigator named Dib who tries to prove to everyone that Zim is an evil alien.
The show was very popular at the time even having merchandise still being produced to this day. The reason for the shows cancellation was due to low rating and high costs even though there were many unaired episodes.
In 2015 Invader Zim continued as a comic book series and in 2019 Netflix aired Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus. Invader Zim doesn't really have a true ending, so I guess either the comic book ending or Enter the Florpus could count as an ending, maybe?
INFO, 1,
7. Dead End: Paranormal Park
Tumblr media
Dead End: Paranormal Park was created by Hamish Steele and aired on Netflix.
Dead End first appeared in a Cartoon Hangover short in 2014 and later became the book series in 2018.
Book and TV show follow the story of Barney, Norma, Pugsley, and Courtney who work at Phoenix Parks a haunted theme park where they battle demons, find out the mystery behind the park owner Paulina Phoenix, and maybe stop the apocalypse!
Dead End: Paranormal Park was not renewed by Netflix due to budget cuts (really, I mean really?) and Hamish planned to have the third season air on a different streaming network. While the cartoon ended with a cliffhanger the book series had an ending.
INFO, 1
8. Detentionaire
Tumblr media
Detentionaire was created by Daniel Bryan Franklin & Charles Johnston and aired on Teleton.
Detentionaire follows the story of Lee Ping who has pulled off the most epic prank in A. Nigma High history, but there's just one tiny problem - Lee didn't do it! Framed for a prank he didn't commit Lee has to spend a year in detention (and grounded), determined to find out who pranked him and why Lee teams up with Biffy another detentionaire and his friends to get down to what's going on and darker secrets at A. Nigma High.
Due to low ratings and not too much viewership the show ended on a cliffhanger.
I came across Detentionaire while watching Ruby Gloom on YouTube (I live in the US so there were no channels featuring the shows) lucky for me it was in the middle of season one when it was still on air and I got to watch the series (when uploaded to Youtube).
LINK
9. Sym- Bionic Titan/ Unicorn: Warriors Eternal
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sym- Bionic Titan/ Unicorn: Warriors Eternal created by Genndy Tartakovsky and aired on Cartoon Network.
I'm listing this as a two-parter too.
Sym-Bionic Titan focuses on Princess Ilana, Soldier Lance, and Advance Robot Octus who had to flee their home planet Galaluna when the evil General Modula. General Modula sends out monsters to kill Princess Ilana and destroy the royal Galaluna bloodline once and for all! When, the three combine they form Sym-Bionic Titan to battle the monsters. The three blend into Earth culture by pretending to be a family, owning a home, and going to high school to draw suspicion off them. On top of that two government parties are investigating them and their relationship to the Titan. As the three protect their new home they are trying to find a way to return to Galaluna.
I'll be honest I'm not a huge sci-fi fan, but I did enjoy the series during its run. The story and art style were amazing as well.
The reason Sym-Bionic Titan was cancelled was because it was unable to secure a toy license. Oh please, there's a bunch of shows without a toy line and they ran/ or still running. The series ended with a 'ray of hope ending' after production Genndy left Cartoon Network and began working on other projects.
Only to return in the form of Unicorn: Warriors Eternal which focus on four individuals who are the reincarnations of past warriors sent to fight an ancient evil from plaguing the world.
The series had a good old timey animation art style with the steampunk aesthetic. Sadly, it like its sibling series ended on a cliffhanger.
INFO, INFO
10. Justice League Action
Tumblr media
Justice League Action created by Sam Register, Butch Lukic, Alan Burnett, and Jim Krieg.
Justice League Action focused on the Justice League a team of superheroes protect the world from supervillains. Each episode featured a different set of heroes defeating their foe and giving everyone extra screentime.
Justice League Action had a special when it first came out only to get bad timeslots and was never renewed.
INFO, 1
10. Teen Titans
Tumblr media
Teen Titans was created by Glen Murakami & David Slack and aired on Cartoon Network.
The series focused on five superhero teens known as the Teen Titans who battle evil villains both in their home of Jump City and the Earth. Their biggest threat being Slade (Deathstroke in the comics) a mysterious man bent on conquering Jump City & destroying the Teen Titans,
Teen Titans was one of Cartoon Network's successful cartoons with high praise from critics and fans it's a mystery why the show was canceled. Once fans found out that Teen Titans was threatened to be canceled there were protests to see it not happened. The reasons for the cancellation ranged from low ratings, decline in toy sales, wanting to work on other shows, and etc. I believe the show was cancelled was because the execs could (JERKS!).
There have been spin-offs of the series such as the 'Titans in Tokyo' film to act as "the ending" of the series, DC nation Teen Titans shorts, and (the infamous) Teen Titans Go series that has had many specials, a movie, and is still on air.
The things I wish that could happen in the show are: Wonder Girl was a member of the team to even the gender out (I hate that even to this day shows only have 1 or 2 girls on a team), the second season Terra still appeared but it was Wonder Girl's season (to give Terra more screen time and make the betrayal hurt more) than third would be Terra's and every season would go on as normal, Starfire having a season, and the finale season focused on everyone! But that's just my two cents.
There have been rumors of season six (maybe) happening. I mean Samurai Jack and Invader Zim came back after their cancellations. If Teen Titans were to return, it would be on Adult Swim.
INFO, 1, 2,
Conclusion:
Okay, and we're done.
To be honest the reason I made this post is because I want to pursue a career in writing, animation, and voice acting.
After the news of HBO's purge and many others, I had a major panic attack because if one greedy person could make the call to erase years and dreams of hard work no matter how popular the shows are or well known the creators are what chance did I have?
I have auditioned for many things only to be in 'always the bridesmaid never the bride' position so it gets heartbreaking after a while. But, with indie works such as The Amazing Digital Circus, Murder Drones, Spooky Month, The Art of Murder, and Puzzle & Sling: Boredom Killers getting recognized and receiving high praise it kinda gives me a spark of hope despite everything.
Thank you for taking the time to read my article. Bye y'all!
Special mentions: The Prodigal Son (FOX), The Summoning (Cartoon Hangover), Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! (Disney) Welcome to Doozy (Cartoon Hangover), Victor and Valentino (Cartoon Network), The Cuphead Show (Netflix), Class of 3000 (Cartoon Network), Cartoon Saloon version of Winnie the Pooh, and etc (like I said before you can add to the list).

your style is so so cute!! If you don’t mind me asking, what are your major style influences? Thanks!
THANK YOUU!!!
this is a bit of a hard question... i take inspirations from a loooot of places
some of my earliest inspirations were peach pit, moyoko anno, natsumi mukai and goushou aoyama ! i started out strongly on the anime side of artstyles, and it's still veeery obvious to this day imo
nowadays, i've been taking inspirations from simplistic, retro artsyles
i recommend shorts posted by this youtube channel ! and checking out mary blair, chris reccardi and lynne naylor !!
i also have to salute yoshihiro togashi, osamu dezaki, the anime series kare kano, cardcaptor sakura and mamoru hosoda that still inspire my storyboards and comics to this dayyyy
when it comes to contemporary internet artists, i'd like to shoutout my friends @patapoulpe-art and antn ! working alongside them has rlly changed my style for the better lol
other internet artists i get inspo from : jeluto , manaohu , poof malyakaet , pengu ... probably a lot more i can't name right now
i swear that if you look at some of these for too long you can see how my art is a frankenstein monster born from all of there

THIS
DOCUMENTARY
(and @cartoonnetwork in general, regardless of their limited programming and quality these days)
An entire series of behind the scenes with the cast and crew of The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy AKA Grim & Evil... this would be really something to air on Cartoon Network or Checkered Past!
As for the Patreon, interviews with Jennifer Hale, Brett Varon, Guy Moon, Glenn E. Oyabe & Jesse Aruda, Marc Perry, Eric Robles, Renee Raudman, Robert Alvarez (among other Burbank animation directors involved), Chris Savino, Brian Sheesley, Rich Childlaw, Chris Mitchell, Vincent Waller, Jeannie Elias, Alex Amalguer, Tara Strong, Shaun Cashman, Genndy Tartakovsky, and Rachel MacFarlane among others I would just love to see! Chris Reccardi passed but perhaps Lynne Naylor would know about what he did on B&M?
Tweet version here.
They left me no choice.
The animation industry is an absolute trash fire right now, and TBH... I don't think it's going to recover. Not in a form I recognize, anyway.
I could go on all day about the self-hating monster that is the Animation Business, but I've said it all before. Right now, none of the major studios are making much of anything, and almost all of what they are making is "library content". I'm currently doing storyboard revisions alongside a number of other former producers and directors, and I'm lucky to have the work. Once all of the mismanagement and the mergers get sorted, though, there should be plenty of room for more mismanagement and mergers. And the A.I. Don't forget the A.I.
It seems that I either give myself over fully to the souring corporate teat in the hopes that I can pretend that I still live in a world where "the grind" matters. Or I take a risk and make one big push to do... something.
First up:
Billy & Mandy vs. The Entertainment Industry:
This is my interview/reality/documentary show on the making of The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy from stem to stern. I'll be talking to as many people as I can who worked on the show about all sorts of different parts of the process. We'll definitely get to voice actors, but the first segment is probably going to be about Billy & Mandy's pre-history and the Big Pick Weekend.
The Upward Expedition:
This is my pick for my indie show. I have a bible. I have a decade of ideas. Time to sit down and tell a story. I want to get some screen sharing going at some point. I'll definitely share artwork as well as the trials and tribulations of getting from There to Back Again.
I'd love to get a Discord server going and provide a place where people can talk about the stuff I'm making (and the entertainment industry in general). I still have enough Billy & Mandy swag left that I'm sure I'll factor that stuff in as well.
In the immediate future, the funding goes to securing a space to do the interviews and probably to banking money for voice actors. I'm still deciding on my update schedule, but it should start in earnest next week.
I'm excited. Pretty scared... but also excited.
More updates to come. Definitely let me know if there's anything specific you'd like to see on the Patreon!
As always, thanks for sticking around!

“Against this threat, upon the Jedi knights falls the duty to lead the newly formed army of the Republic, and, as the heat of war grows, so too grows the prowess of one most gifted student of the Force....”
10 years have passed since I got one of the greatest DVDs in the world....
Tumblr media
@starwars....

Clone Wars Volume One!
Tumblr media
I got this gem of a collector’s item from a local Movie Gallery closing down, and I would never trade my used copy for any other in the galaxy--not even the re-sealed, previously viewed DVDs I saw at a local, now-defunct Fred’s.
Many gifted artists at Cartoon Network Studios, Rough Draft Studios, and Lucasfilm’s divisions of Skywalker Sound and--yes--even THX Ltd. brought this amazing vision of Star Wars to life under the lead of one of my favorite cartoonists of all time...
Tumblr media
That’s right. Samurai Jack & Primal creator Genndy Tartakovsky. His team includes...
Tumblr media
a sound effects editor & re-recording mixer, Erik Foreman (read more about his work here)....
Tumblr media
plus Technical Audio Supervisor/Assistant Editor Jonathan Greber and Digital Transfer/Assistant Editors Chris Barron & John Countryman, credited in the DVD credits when you select the THX Optimizer and press “1″-”1″-”3″-”8″...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
many Spumco artists like Mike Kim, Lynne Naylor, @rdaskas​, Scott Wills, and Raymond Zibach, plus big-shot EFX Design artist Michel Gagne and BG artists @shinypinkbottle​ and the awesome David A. Dunnet ...
Tumblr media
storyboard artists Bryan & Mark Andrews (maybe JG Quintel as a board revisionist, but I’m not sure since I can’t see the chapter’s individual credits as they aired on CN); Genndy did some boarding too...
Tumblr media
Some voices, such as James Arnold Taylor, went from this Clone Wars to The Clone Wars, which recently ended...
Tumblr media
the art directors, of course--Paul Rudish and Scott Wills--who’re very important to the art of the series...
Tumblr media
...and Robert Alvarez & Tartakovsky made for very good traditional animation, which is surprisingly not as good these days on most Cartoon Network Studios projects.
Now that Disney owns Lucasfilm (and 20th Century Studios Home Entertainment, which distributed the DVDs with @cartoonnetwork), these need to air on Disney XD, Disney Channel and/or Disney+. I imagine that a war of copyright is at hand since Cartoon Network, created by Hanna-Barbera, is owned by Warner Bros./WarnerMedia, a media empire of their own (which, in turn, distributed Star Wars: The Clone Wars 2008 movie and the in-home releases of the TV series until 2014).
I remember little if anything of this micro-series when it actually aired, but I probably wasn’t into action cartoons much back then, which is why I remember little of The Powerpuff Girls and Samurai Jack in my childhood. Luckily, I found a snippet of CHAPTER 18 from a controlyourtv ad for CN/[as]! I recently made a tweet of it too.
In 2009, I started seeing Star Wars: Clone Wars in action... via a “YouTube  Poop” called “IN A WORD THEY’LL ALL BE DINNER” (nothing inappropriate FYI) by UncleChuckTH. This was a fun way to introduce myself to the series; prior to and during this time I saw of Star Wars: The Clone Wars 2008 movie’s TV spots and the TV series on CN/Toonami on [as].
Want a sneak peek at this series? Check it out here! That is until Disney+ or some official Disney source on YouTube or wherever else makes an official upload...

Memories...
Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! That's the name of the first show I ever watched from the beginning till the day they canceled it. It was for the first time I watched every single episode from show even several times. I can't belive it was more than 16years.. This series was created by Ciro Nieli and he was one of directors Teen Titans (one of my all time favorite shows ). Lynne Naylor was the show's director, and  Chris Reccardi was the show's assistant director also writer for the Samurai Jack and The Powerpuff girls (Another my all time favorite children show). Thanks to them I had my childhood heroes <3
(I’m still sad that both teen titans and srmthfg never got a proper ending). What's yours first show you watched from beginning till the end?

Slumbering with the Enemy
Storyboard by: Lynne Naylor-Reccardi Art Direction: Don Shank Directed by: Randy Myers, Craig McCracken
The Powerpuff Girls invite all the girls of Townsville for a girls-only slumber party. One of the invitations ends up in the hands of a not-so-wanted guest: Moejisha, who is clearly Mojo dressed as a little girl. The Powerpuff Girls see through this disguise immediately, but doesn't want the other girls to freak out at the silly evil monkey in drag. It seems to be a twist on the infamous Devil in Plain Sight plot, except the girls just assume Moejisha is up to no good even when she's just participating in the party games. The episode does change around at the halfway point to give a little variety, and it turns into a decent episode to show that girls can be superheroes even without superpowers. It does end rather abruptly, though. (3/5)

Watch the Modifyers again, or for the first time if you’re one of the very few cartoon fans who never did before. Chris Reccardi did animation, storyboarding, character design and directing on dozens of cartoon shows you’ve literally all watched, but this was his first attempt at an original pilot, conceived and co-created with his similarly talented and accomplished wife, Lynne Naylor. Nickelodeon passed it by and the world never got to see a full series with his name on it...

Disney Streaming Services  To Collaborate With Dreamworks And Comcast In First Company Collab As A Distributor For Upcoming Hulu Kids Shows
Much like Right Now Kapow & Animaniacs Disney will collaborate with a rival studio as they will be distributors of Dreamworks Animation Television shows. This due the ongoing contract of Hulu and Dreamworks that they set in 2018 to produce multiple original shows 
Hulu took part in this week’s Television Critic Association event, where they announced a number of new Hulu Originals including dramas, documentaries, comedies and animated series.
Three new animated shows from Dreamworks will be coming to Hulu including Madagascar: A Little Wild, TrollsTopia and The Mighty Ones.  Here are the details on the three new animated shows from Dreamworks: This shows will also be part of Comcasts Streaming Service Peacock
The Mighty Ones
In every backyard, a secret world exists filled with tiny creatures. The Mighty Ones, follows the hilarious adventures of a group of creatures: a twig, a pebble, a leaf and a strawberry. These best friends, self-named The Mighty Ones, live in an unkempt backyard belonging to a trio of equally unkempt humans whom they mistake for gods. Despite their diminutive stature, The Mighty Ones are determined to live life large and always have fun in their wild world. The series is executive produced by Sunil Hall (Pickle and Peanut) and Lynne Naylor-Reccardi (Samurai Jack).
Trolls Trollstopia
“TrollsTopia will be a new original based off the famous Trolls franchise following Poppy and other enchanting characters from the upcoming feature film Trolls World Tour.”
Madagascar Go Wild
Loveable foursome Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe and Gloria the Hippo steal the show in Madagascar: A Little Wild, executive produced by Johanna Stein (Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny). Capturing the iconic personalities of each of the four dynamos, Madagascar: A Little Wild showcases the team as kids residing in their rescue habitat at the Central Park Zoo. They might be small, but like everybody who lands in New York City, these little guys have big dreams and Madagascar: A Little Wild will follow all of their adventures.

My r&s stuff has been getting attention from blogs I've never seen before so here's a little disclaimer: I love r&s for everything that isn't John K. Bob Camp, Lynne Naylor, Vanessa Coffey, Chris Reccardi, etc are the ones to admire!
John K is lower than athlete's foot and should be in prison (tho being forced to retire after being outed as a pedo and sexual predator is definitely a good start).
Also fuck Jim Smith for being one of the guys to look away from and do nothing about John's obvious pedo relationship with Robyn while at spumco
