The Rise Fall And Revival Of Klasky Csupo.

[@BigEWR]

The nostalgia I have for Klasky Csupo is overwhelming. This is mainly because Rugrats was the very first Nicktoon I ever saw, and their other shows on the network would also win me over for a plethora of different reasons. On top of that, not only do I praise Duckman for the same reasons as everyone else, but it even debuted on my birthday. Additionally, there's always something to be said about the animation of the first few seasons of the Simpsons as it just feels quite intriguing looking back.

[@EmbraceTheStruggle24]

Yea I agree - especially in the sense that the Rugrats were basically my childhood.

[@WuwuWuwuTV]

I think people forget how much content from the 1990s was still airing during the early 2000s. I was born in 97 and lots of these shows were still in reruns or wrapping up their runs.

[@juord]

One of my favorite studios. They also animated the early seasons of The Simpsons. Also rest in peace Everett Peck

[@Sandman2007]

He mentions that in the video.

[@BlackMaleSpirituality]

Rugrats was probably my first favorite show. I remember they used to show it on Nickelodeon at 7 PM every evening like clockwork. I told my parents I wanted to get home in time for it 😂

[@MediaWindowsMaker]

We all know that Klasky Csupo is so underrated, even it was used from using logo editing

It's very interesting the struggle hold that they had on Nickelodeon and TV animation at that time. And on the bright side the duckman game at least came out on the PC.

[@EmbraceTheStruggle24]

Very true

[@mechajay3358]

That studio dominated the Nickelodeon network with their shows in the 90s/2000s. And even before that, they worked on the Golden Age of The Simpsons. Its a shame that they're basically a shell of their former self, and their Rugrats Reboot is an example of it.

[@isaiahmarker407]

I've heard rumors that Klasky Csupo is actually not involved with the Rugrats reboot. They only get the right to veto character additions and veto certain things in the scripts. But Nickelodeon is basically running the show itself and has Klasky Csupo hands off. Gabor Csupo has also stated that he hates the look of the reboot

[@plawson8577]

Doug wasn’t the first Nicktoon to be developed, it was the first to debut. Rugrats was actually the first Nicktoon to be pitched in October of 1990, and was actually dry piloted on June 23,1991 during Slimetime Live, the Dry Pilot was promoted“A Nickelodeon Sneak Peak of our Original Cartoons debuting in August” and the dry pilot’s name was “Barbecue Story”. Rugrats was practically Arlene Klasky and Gabor Csupo’s Very first in house production and IP. The concept first came together in early 1990 and was created by Paul Germain. Duckman was based on a 1986 Underground Seinen/Adult Comic Book series created by Everett Peck. In it, Duckman is a chain smoking,Hard drinking, Lecher who constantly flirts other with women and keeps getting emasculated by his wife Bernice(She’s his Wife in the comics instead of Sister-in-Law) Beatrice is actually his Sister-in-Law in the comics instead of his presumed dead wife. Peck successfully got Duckman pitched to Klasky Csupo in late 1992, but originally the series was picked up by Comedy Central/HA! In February 1993, but after test piloting “Duckman Private Dick/Family Man” on November 13,1993(Later reworked as “American Dicks”) Comedy Central ultimately DROPPED Duckman due to Klasky Csupo failing to meet deadlines and unable to have its first 13 episodes ready by Christmas of 1993(Duckman was a few months behind schedule), but in January 1994, USA Network picked the series.

I need to have a perfect life as a toddler without having to wait forever for a show to have a proper conclusion such as hey arnold which didn't get a series finale for 13 years which was too long and wasting a child's life

[@EmbraceTheStruggle24]

Yep definitely lol...the wait for the Hey Arnold finale was certainly ridiculous.

[@HarlotEffect]

No mention of Stressed Eric? That show was really funny.

[@emberjean4230]

7:07 You mean TRADITIONALLY animated for the original? I think you got yourself a confused error there.

[@StagehandMotel6]

Most animation is done by pencil storyboards and frame by frame. However is computer animated to get frames and movements right then finalized overseas coloring and cleaning etc. I think we will go over that in a future video. Because Klasky Csupo did drawings by hand but movements and everything else by computer animation.

[@emberjean4230]

@@StagehandMotel6 So you mean digital ink and paint, right? That's technically the industry norm standard for most hand drawn shows nowadays actually. And you meant CGI as in EVERYTHING including the animation is done with computer-made images entirely, right?

[@consumeroftoons2119]

@@StagehandMotel6 It appears that many individuals harbor a certain aversion to the Rugrats reboot due to its alterations without having given it a fair chance. They seem to overlook the fact that this reboot is intended to present a distinct interpretation of the series, one that takes place in an alternate universe. It's essential to recognize that this is a reboot, not a revival, and therefore, changes to the original concept are expected. Beyond the notable differences such as the parents being from the millennial generation, new voice actors, the varying ages of Susie and Kimi, and Kimi no longer being a clone of Tommy, the core essence of the show remains quite faithful to the original. The dialogue retains the distinctive Rugrats feel, the narrative arcs unfold in a manner consistent with the Rugrats style, and most storylines could easily have occurred in the original series with minor adjustments. Moreover, a significant portion of the same writing team is involved in its production. It's essential to disassociate this reboot from the original series and not anticipate a replication of the same formula. This project is intended to provide a contemporary interpretation, set in the present day, and as is often the case with reboots, it strives to introduce alterations to distinguish itself from its predecessor. The original series had a successful 13-year run (not including its initial cancellation and revival), achieving its objectives. Simply replicating the same content would be unadventurous and appeal solely to nostalgia. By embarking on a fresh direction and creating a clean slate, this reboot aims to captivate a new generation without requiring them to be familiar with the source material, thereby establishing a compelling reason for them to engage with the series.

One of the co creators of Rugrats Paul Germain created the Recess alongside Rugrats writer and Hey Arnold co developer Joe Ansolabehere. Denis M. Hannigan, who did the music for Recess would also do the music for CatDog and seasons 2 and 3 of Rugrats. Also to me the art style looks more like a blend of Hey Arnold, CatDog, and King of the Hill more so than Rugrats which makes sense considering the shared crew across all shows.
