I just posted about
The Ren and Stimpy Show being 20 years old. Now is the 20th birthday of
Nicktoons. Sundays will never be the same since now
Nick just has dumb shows like
iCarly and
Victorious. I miss
Hey Arnold! and
Rugrats and
Doug. Hears what
Craig Yoe had to say-
“20 years ago Nickelodeon’s VP of Creative, Scott Webb had seen an MTV ID that J.J. Sedelmaier of J.J. Sedelmaier Productions (still knocking out great animation) and I had done and drafted us to do an opening and closing for their new cartoon block, Nicktoons. Webb’s assignment was to “do an intro so cool that it will become as famous as the beloved Looney Tunes one”. Oh, sure, no problem there! We came up with the bit below joined by animators Doug Compton, JP Jacquet, and John Dilworth and with the music/sound design of the long missed Tom Pomposello. It debuted with Nicktoons, won some awards, but was quickly s***-canned by some suit who had other ideas and some political pull and, well… that’s all folks!
Anyway happy birthday Nicktoons.
