Spumco loyalists at the time not pictured are Mike Fontanelli, Brent Kirnbauer, Stacy Nichols, and April March (AKA Elinor Blake).

Tweet version in reply to Vincent Waller here.

This post was meant to wish a Happy Birthday to the highly controversial, formally abusive megalomaniac but also animation legend, founder and big-shot of Spümcø, Michael John Kricfalusi, with extreme favor of his ground-breaking team of creatives, including the late and great Chris Reccardi.

Despite our controversial creator’s past behavior and the abuse he did, as his teammates — his creatives — his alums went on to be part of many cartoons that we enjoy. God knows what would be of them if it were not for their work at Spümcø/John K. Enterprises/etc.

I created this list on September 9th, 2019 A.D. (John K.’s birthday) to list the creatives who are behind some of the most popular of “Western” animation (mostly native to Burbank or Canada).

| 17 Celebrities from New Milford, Bergen County, NJ |

 | By Sean Michael |

New Milford, New Jersey just seems like another regular American town that most people in the USA have never heard of, with a small population of 16,000 people. But there seems to be some magic in the air.

After consistently hearing about success stories of people coming out of New Milford, New Jersey, I did some research and was surprised to learn that there actually is a vast amount of talent who have gone on to do major things in the world coming out of this one small town.

SpongeBob no more

Just months ago, Stephen Hillenburg & Chris Reccardi passed way. This year or next year, Nickelodeon Animation Studios owned by Viacom International will never make more SpongeBob episodes after the proposed series finale. Although future SpongeBob episodes between this year & next year will dedicate in memory of them. Meanwhile, I’ll work at Cartoon Network Studios in Burbank, California this summer after I write 22 episode scripts of Dexter’s Laboratory Season 5 for early next year here in Limay, Bataan. There, I’ll develop a Saturday-morning cartoon based on Friends by Marta Kauffman & David Crane & a Cartoon Network crossover show with Dexter’s sister Dee Dee with the art style inspired by Genndy Tartakovsky & Chris Savino. SpongeBob forever.

AIRBNB

Το 2008 δημιουργήθηκε μια καινοτόμα υπηρεσία η οποία έμελλε να αλλάξει για πάντα την βιομηχανία τουρισμού, το Airbnb.

Το Airbnb είναι μια υπηρεσία η οποία παρέχει την δυνατότητα σε οποιονδήποτε άνθρωπο να μετατρέψει την κατοικία του ή μέρος της κατοικίας του, σε χώρο προς ενοικίαση για τουρίστες με χρέωση ανά βράδυ.

Η ραγδαία ανάπτυξη του Airbnb δεν άργησε να επηρεάσει τις μεγάλες ξενοδοχειακές επιχειρήσεις και πλέον είναι ένας από τους βασικούς ανταγωνιστές τους.

Η επιτυχία του Airbnb δεν είναι τυχαίο γεγονός καθώς η υπηρεσία, μέσω ενός προηγμένου συστήματος feedback,  αναπτύσσει και αναβαθμίζει συνεχώς τον τρόπο με τον οποίο εξυπηρετεί τους πελάτες της. (Guttentag, 2017).

Χρησιμοποιώντας μια πιο ανθρωπιστική προσέγγιση όσο αφορά την εξυπηρέτηση πελατών, μέσω της επικοινωνίας του πελάτη κατευθείαν με τον ενοικιαστή, το Airbnb πλέον είναι από τις πιο δημοφιλές υπηρεσίες τουρισμού, εις βάρος των ήδη καταξιωμένων ξενοδοχείων και λοιπών αλυσίδων τουρισμού αλλά κυριότερα εις βάρος των ανεξάρτητων ξενοδοχείων και τουριστικών επιχειρήσεων. Η έρευνα του οι ZERVASet, η οποία πραγματοποιήθηκε το 2015 στο Τέξας των ΗΠΑ, κατέγραψε μια μείωση της τάξης του 0,37% και μιά αύξηση 10% των κρατήσεων του Airbnb η οποία φαίνεται να συσχετίζεται, αξιοσημείωτο ότι την παραπάνω μείωση δεχθήκαν τα ξενοδοχεία που είχαν πιο χαμηλή κατηγορία, επιχειρήσεις που είναι αυτόνομες και ξενοδοχεία που δεν έχουν τόσες διασύνδεσης και συμφωνίες με άλλες επιχείρησης (Zervas, G., Proserpio, D., & Byers, J. (2015).

Δεν επηρεάστηκαν μόνο τα ξενοδοχεία από το Airbnb, η πλατφόρμα εχει τόσο μεγάλη απήχηση σε ορισμένες πόλεις/χώρες που πλέον έχει επηρεάσει την οικονομία και κατεπέκταση την κ��ινωνία.

Σύμφωνα με την ��ρευνά της Mariona Segu, η οποία δείχνει πως μετά την έναρξη της ανάπτυξης του Airbnb τα ενοίκια στην Βαρκελώνη της Ισπανίας, αυξήθηκαν κατά 4% τα τελευταία χρόνια και αυτό οφείλεται υπηρεσία του Airbnb (Mariona Segu,2018).

Αναμφίβολα, η Βαρκελώνη είναι από τις πόλεις που έχουν επηρεαστεί τόσο πολύ από το Airbnb, σε σημείο που οι κάτοικοι προτιμούν να ενοικιάζουν τα σπίτια τους στο κέντρο πόλης και να μετακομίζουν στα προάστεια. Το αποτέλεσμα, η Βαρκελώνη έχει πλέον αποκτήσει 16,000 καταχωρήσεις στο Airbnb προς ενοικίαση. (Stephen Burgen, 2017)

Το Airbnb έχει μπει για τα καλά στην ζωή μας και έχει εξελιχθεί σε ένα παγκόσμιο φαινόμενο και κατ’ επέκταση σε μια υπηρεσία η οποία πλέον αξίζει πολλά δισεκατομμύρια. (Gaby Hinsliff, 2018)

What think I of Paul Rudish’s envision Mickey Mouse? Think Spümcø.

Like many Cartoon Network/Hanna-Barbera creatives, Paul Rudish (Star Wars: Clone Wars, Samurai Jack, Sym-Bionic Titan, The Powerpuff Girls Movie) and many members on his team went to Disney Television Animation and turned Mickey Mouse into a hilariously rapid-paced cartoon, with the animation of Mercury Filmworks (Star vs. the Forces of Evil, Wander over Yonder) and many great design talents, including Shakeh Hagnazarian. The sound design by Supervising Sound Editor Robert Poole II at Advantage Audio is also different from his usual styles (The Fairly OddParents, Phineas and Ferb), using plenty of Disney, WB & H-B SFX that the typical Advantage sound designers (Poole II, Heather Olsen, Michael Warner, Robert Duran and Paca Thomas) tend not to use. I wish that Poole II (or someone else at Advantage) did that with SvTFOE Season 1.

In aural terms, I prefer the sound design of Warner Bros. Sound/Audio Circus (Otis Van Osten, Michael Gollom, Bill Keane M.P.S.E.) on Mickey Mouse Works/House of Mouse, with which I grew up), and I like the stylized score on Mickey Mouse Works too, which I kind of miss (with all of Disney TVA’s new shows, I think that a House of Mouse reboot could be in order), but Poole II’s sound design and Christopher Willis’ score prove to be very good.

Here’re those Spümcø creatives who turned this Disney icon into something insanely wacky:

The Late and Great Chris Reccardi (Location Design on “Croissant de Triophe”)

Bill Wray ([Additional] Background Paint on “Springtime” and “The Scariest Story Ever: A Mickey Mouse Halloween Spooktacular!”)

@stephendestefano (Character Design, Seasons 1-4)

@rdaskas (Background Paint on “Ghoul Friend”)

Chris Savino (Directed by/Written by/Storyboard by, “Bad Ear Day”)

Mark Ackland (Written by/Storyboard by)

Riccardo Durante (Written by/Storyboard by)

Also regarding Spümcø, Ren Höek is dressed up in Mickey Mouse fashion in The Ren & Stimpy Show episode “The Boy Who Cried Rat!”, directed by Vincent Waller, and “Ren Seeks Help”, co-directed by Waller as well.

Many of the Spümcø team, as with many “Western” animation projects by popular studios, also contributed their talent to another reboot of a classic cartoon character, The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat. They even went on to be a part of Disney Television Animation (i,e. Bob Camp storyboarded on Suburban Daredevil)!

SpongeBob no more

3 months ago, SpongeBob SquarePants creator Stephen Hillenburg passed away. This year or next year, Nickelodeon Animation Studios owned by Viacom International will never make more SpongeBob episodes after the proposed series finale. Although future SpongeBob episodes between this year & next year will dedicate in memory of him. Meanwhile, I’ll work at Cartoon Network Studios in Burbank, California this spring after I write 22 episode scripts of Dexter’s Laboratory Season 5 for early next year here in Limay, Bataan. There, I’ll develop a Saturday-morning cartoon based on Friends by Marta Kauffman & David Crane & a Cartoon Network crossover show with Dexter’s sister Dee Dee with the art style inspired by Genndy Tartakovsky & Chris Savino. SpongeBob forever.

So, last night, Cartoon Brew broke a story about Nickelodeon suspending long time cartoonist and creator of The Loud House for sexual harassment against women. 

Many have posted their thoughts so I thought I’d go ahead and say mine. 

I got into The Loud House during season 2 (relatively recently). I enjoy the show greatly and consider it one of my top favorite modern animated shows. 

So, I understand the initial reaction of “this can’t be true” from the fanbase when it first broke out a little under 24 hours ago. The Loud House is quite progressive in having individual strong female characters and was groundbreaking by having a confirmed canon homosexual couple; along with continuing the growth of bisexual characters in the case of Luna in children’s media. With this streak of progression it feels like a sense of betrayal that its creator would be doing this behind the scenes. 

Which brings me to the point of: Being a fan of the Loud House does not mean we condone the (alleged) actions of Chris Savino. 

I also want to bring up that while I’m a firm believer in “innocent until proven guilty”, I also wanted to look into as much information that is out right now, and I just can’t see this looking well for Savino. 

A dozen women, spanning a decade of time have come forward. One of whom, Anne Walker Farrell kind of shaded about this back in August and confirmed Savino as one in question in a tweet today. 

I feel that Nickelodeon wouldn’t just throw a creator of their second highest rated show out based on accusations and face this kind of publicity. It would’ve been easier to throw under the rug and silence it (if that’s what they’ve been doing for 10 years, shame on them). I feel that it’s much more likely that they do have evidence of wrongdoing. 

There’s plenty of other successful men in the animation industroy not accused of sexual harassment (by God, I hope it stays that way). Butch Hartman, JG Quintel, Alex Hirsch, Stephen Hillenburg, Craig McCracken are just some of the men who are/were as successful in the animation industry as Savino. They’re not the ones being accused of sexual harassment. Savino is. So the ludicrous “just a bunch of lying whores trying to get a man fired/ get higher up the ladder” is total baloney and needs to stop being our reaction when these things come up.   

Another damning speculation against Chris is his Facebook is gone. His twitter is gone. Two platforms where he could’ve expressed his innocence are shot. This doesn’t mean he did it, but it looks very, very bad for him and any opportunity for me to (initially) believe he could be innocent is microscopic. 

If these accusations are verified then he needs to be out of the animation industry. A good show is not the price for bad behavior. 

Loud House fans. We have nothing to be shameful for. This isn’t our fault. It’s Chris’s.
