Fanboy and Chum Chum

So we’ve gone ahead and posted just about everything from Fanboy and Chum Chum’s first season - 52 eleven-minute cartoons - that we could get our hands on - or so we think. Scripts, storyboards, character and background designs, animatic clips, fan art, color scripts, etc. and so forth. What have we missed? Is there any Fanboyness you’re itching to see that we somehow forgot to blog? We’ve already got tons of stuff from season two lined up, but if you’ve got those season one requests, just holler. (For those of you keeping score, Nickelodeon has thirteen first-season shorts yet to air.)

Fan art from big news

Animation Insider has just put online an in-depth interview with your hero and mine, Eric Robles. Conducted by Aaron H. Bynum, the piece covers all things Robles as he gabs about the past, present, and future of Fanboy and Chum Chum.

[W]hat are you most proud of so far, with the first season?

The whole thing. [laughs]

I think the thing I’m really proud of is everything that I’ve learned. A lot of times, for a lot of new creators of shows, sometimes if they’re straight out of school or if it’s their first kind of job, it’s a lot to take in, you know? And one of the key things of having this position is really learning to work with people.

You’ve gotta be open for ideas and open to changes. You can’t be one of those guys who just says, “This is my art…. and it [Read more…]

So when Aiden turned three recently, what do you think he wanted? Well, like any red-blooded American boy, he asked for a Fanboy and Chum Chum-themed birthday party. Thanks to his mom, Giselle, he got one.

Thanks for the pictures, Giselle, and Happy Birthday, Aiden!

“Just sharing my love for the best new cartoon in years.”

Man, look at this fan art from Georgian Mr Tyson Hesse. Awesome, no?

Remember, if you’ve got any fan art inspired by Fanboy and Chum Chum, we’d love to see it on the Art of Fanboy Chum Chum Tumblr page. When you upload your art to your Flickr page, just include the tag FBCCFA and your masterpiece will show up on the art site as if by magic, just like Tyson’s.

Thanks to Tyson and all the fan artists so far.

Thanks, Miranda! Awesome, awesome job.

“I srsly need to make a FBnCC music video to that song forreals.

So… This is them… As… Teenagers… Because… I’m lame. So, in my mind, (because I am SUPERNERD!) they’re, like, fifteen/sixteen and are looking for jobs… Chum Chum gets to work at Oz’s Comics (because he got there first) and, unfortunately, because it’s so obvious, Oz can’t really afford to let both of them work there, so Fanboy has to work at the Frosty Freezy-Freeze Mart. Place. Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaah.

So, Chum Chum gets access to new comics before the public does (but not before Oz, of course) and it’s X-MEN. Which I chose because I love it. Also, I gave Chum Chum a Captain America shirt, because he seems like a Captain America kinda guy, even though I haven’t read any Captain America at all. Maybe someday, after I read craploads of Hellboy and then some [Read more…]
