I’m very, very conflicted in my response to this. Via Cynopsis, a pair of new cartoon series in development, aimed squarely at kids:
The Adventures of Brush Lee and Jackie Chain an animated series about an evil toilet chain and a heroic brush in a kung-fu battle comedy. From the UK-based production company Naughty Tortoise.
Vegetable Wrestling Federation this animated series about a group of vegetables that gather at the back of a grocery store for undergrounds wrestling matches. Also from the folks at Naughty Tortoise.
I suppose people had the same response to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when it was first announced, but damn, do both of those sound like really bad ideas on the surface. There’s always the possibility one or both will become quirky animated classics, but my gut reaction is that they’re facing a serious uphill battle on a slippery slope.
