Diane and Dana were in the New York office today to show a pitch for a second cartoon they’d love to do for Oh Yeah!. It’s called The Life of Frank.

(And have you checked out the posted piece of their animatic?!)

Thanks to D&D for kind permission to post the title page of their pitch.

I’ve been rockin’ in Burbank the last few days. The folks from Polygon Pictures in Tokyo (producer Rita Street, Director Hiroshi Chida, President Shuzo John Shiota, Creative Producer Kenji Ishimaru) were in re-pitching Boneheads.

The Oh Yeah! Cartoons creators often have another cartoon or two they’d like to produce with us. Kyle Carrozza’s got Weird Eddie.

Diane Kredensor & Dana Galin were in from New York, working with their art department, and with Director Yvette Kaplan (directing their incredible voice cast).

Oh Yeah! creator Adam Henry pitched another short called Pesky the Squirrel.

And the crew from Bob Boyle’s Wow!Wow!Wubbzy! welcomed me in with a great get together, violating every Film Roman alcohol-on-premises rule.

And then there was the next day.

So I go on vacation, but the team keeps starting cartoons! Dana Galin & Diane Kredensor have been working with the Frederators (Eric Homan, in particular) for quite a while now, first on a great picture book for pre-schoolers, and now on Call Me Bessie, and we couldn’t be more excited. They’re based in New York (like yours truly), but they’ve hauled themselves out to lovely Burbank to work with the Oh Yeah! Cartoons production team to get their hilarious cartoon out to the kids of America.

They’ve already snagged one of the most talented directors in the business, Yvette Kaplan (a creative consultant on one of the early Oh Yeah!s, David Burd’s and Amy Anderson’s Zoey’s Zoo), so Bessie’s on a roll. And, of course, Diane and Dana are the first two women to prove my point of a few weeks ago.

Welcome in guys. We’re pround you picked us to play with.
