Visually eyepopping, gag-laden, character-driven and most importantly, funny-those were our cartoon goals.

Nothing like a little pressure! In addition, every series we had done had started with a seven-minute short, but this time we were so sure we were on the right track that we jumped right into series production.Īt that point in time, the Cartoon Network had been putting a great deal of effort into finding properties that weren't just animated sitcoms but were actually cartoons. The fate of our working with independent studios rested with this show. This would be the first show to be produced outside that system and the first to report directly to the Cartoon Network. Even shorts that were produced in smaller studios in other cities were produced through Hanna-Barbera. Up to that point, the Cartoon Network had only produced shows through Hanna-Barbera in Los Angeles.
Thus the Sisyphean task of producing the series began. "How soon can you have it ready?" asked the general manager and I watched Danny's eyebrows go up. Not long after, a start-up meeting was held poolside at Chateau Marmont, the one moment of Hollywood glamour we'd experience. After an affirmative response from Betty Cohen, the president of the Cartoon Network, the legal paperwork and deal making began. The series bible came through by fax, a few pages at a time, over a period of the next few months. "Can we see more? Is there a bible?" he asked. I showed the fax to Mike Lazzo, the senior vice president of programming and production at the Cartoon Network, and he laughed. Well, actually there were several more steps before that last part happened but they were easy. I immediately identified with the concept and a series was sold. We didn't have much in common other than living in the same neighbourhood and having the same name. I remembered that back in 1974, I used to hang out with two girls in my neighbourhood, Linda J. Danny had sent me a drawing of three goofy looking guys, with the title Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy, and the tagline: "They're friends because they have the same name." "What do you think?" he wrote. It was from Vancouver animator Danny Antonucci. One day in 1996, I got a fax at the Atlanta head office of the Cartoon Network where I am vice president of original animation.
