The Ever-Expanding Cartoon Universe

This contribution from a newer Burbank Studio.

The episodes are also 22 minutes long, as opposed to the 11-minute “Robot Chicken” episodes. ...

“We have multiple stages with multiple animators, and at any time we could have multiple episodes shot at the same time,” explains [studio co-founder Eric] Towner. “It makes sense for us to set up and light a location, like the ‘SuperMansion’ kitchen where we have reoccurring scenes throughout the entire series. We just light it and keep it up.” ...

“A lot of different projects are happening right now,” says Towner. “We just did a Web series with Bratz, which was really cool. We’re doing a 2D animated show with WWE’s Camp WWE and that’s a new horizon for us. And then there are a bunch of projects we can’t talk about yet. We’re really lucky.”

We're happy SBS is doing well. Next we need to get a contract in place ...
