We’ve done a lot of epic ideas in the show. What can you tell us about the story and how you came about that plot? Yeah, so it was a very long time so we’re really happy with how it turned out and are excited it’s going to air on the Network. We were at the tail end of season five when we started thinking about it and then we didn’t actually screen it for the first time until the beginning of writing season eight. Just to give you an idea of the scope of it, compared to what we normally do, we usually make a whole season in about a year. We boarded it and then after doing a whole pass of the movie it was really long, like two hours long, and we needed to cut it down then we finally scripted it with everything we knew we wanted and then boarded it again and then we finally landed on it. The process compared to what we normally do with our episodes was pretty much the same but it just ended up being really difficult because we didn’t script it at the beginning. We wrote an outline for an idea and the network approved it so we went on to board it. We’ve done a bunch of 22-minute special in the past which are harder to make than the 11s, but 40 felt like a weird number so I asked them if we could just attempt to make a movie in the same amount of time and they let us. It had originally started that at the end of season five the network asked us to make a 40-minute special. How did that come about and how was working on a sixty-eight minute story different from working on eleven and twenty-two minute episodes?Ĭrazy. You’ve got the movie coming up which is the first animated Cartoon Network film to be theatrically released since The Powerpuff Girls Movie in 2002. I’m a big fan of In-N-Out that’s a quality burger. Maybe bacon? You don’t really need bacon. Lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, cheddar cheese. I don’t know how you would fit it in your pocket but it would be hilarious.Īnd it’d probably have a really long battery life.įood is such a central part of the show what would you want for your dream burger?ĭefinitely all the classics. It would be pretty rad if they actually made ‘80s cell phones again because with the technology we have nowadays it would be a really powerful computer if it was that big. I like records, although I know those aren’t from the ‘80s and are already coming back which is pretty cool. What do you wish from that time period was still around or would make a comeback? The show generates a lot of 80s/90s nostalgia by blending pop culture and technology of that era in to a modern day setting. I was really happy with how that one turned out. It was really long, but we were laughing so hard that we were like ‘we should just extend it and make it in to a 22-minute special.’ Part of that was adding the intro to make it even longer and adding more fighting, the outro, and all the cool images of them playing with the ducks afterwards. It originally was only an 11-minute episode, but with the board artists, Toby Jones, and Owen Dennis, they over-boarded it. We always try to top the episode and previous one was pretty big and this one got crazy big. Well that episode was funny because we had done a couple of baby duck episodes in the past and that was our third one. I was wondering how that episode came about. Any time we have a moment on the show that feels like it deserves a song we try to put one in.Įarlier this year there was an episode (“Brilliant Century Duck Crisis Special”) that was an anime parody with a Neon Genesis Evangelion title sequence and I was just amazed with what you did for that it was beautifully spot-on. We used Queen, we used ( Mountain’s) “Mississippi Queen.” It’s hard to remember back because we’ve done over 200 episodes now.
Just recently on our “Terror Tales of the Park V” we used “Werewolves of London,” that Warren Zevon song, which I’m really excited we got to use. What’s your favorite song/montage/musical moment from the show? Regular Show is packed with great music, both licensed and written for the show. Also old rock and ‘80s stuff on the radio every time I’m driving to work I pretty much have something like that on.
#REGULAR SHOW THE MOVIE FULL MOVIE HOW TO#
I’m trying to learn how to play guitar a little bit so I’ve been listening to old blues stuff. You were talking about old rock music, which is a huge part of the show. I’ve done that too and it’s spot on with those relationships and interactions. I definitely see the influence of the movie theatre.
