Multi-Emmy award-winning company Baboon Animation (Angry Birds, Gigantosaurus) has joined forces with Fonda Snyder and Israeli creators Neta Holzer and Allon Zaslansky to produce CHEEZ N NUGGET: GONE BAD, a 2D slapstick buddy comedy about the unlikely and undying friendship between two fun foods. The series is Executive-Produced by industry veteran Fonda Snyder (Storyopolis, Alchemy Ink).
The top-shelf alliance seeks production partners, distribution and broadcasters for what promises to be a classic buddy comedy with non-stop laughs.
The new animated series follows Cheez and Nugget, two fated best friends living in a food product world, where it’s super cool to be fresh, healthy, low-calorie, low-fat, gluten-free, lactose-free, organic, and… well… they are not. One is a stinky cheese ball, a former adorable child star and Nugget is—well, a Nugget, origins unknown.
When this unlikely pair finds out they share the exact same expiration-stamp – they create the best BUCKET LIST ever, determined to do it all! These two will do anything to live every day to the fullest- even if it means leaving a trail of destruction behind them – which happens every time.
The high-calorie comedy was inspired by Snyder, conceptualized by Neta Holzer (Animation Director) and Zaslansky (Writer) and written by the team at Baboon.
The series is planned as a 2D animated, 26 x 11 minutes show for kids aged 6-11 using a POC cast.
Mike de Seve, co-creator of Warner Media’s top-rated slapstick series Taffy said, “When it comes to buddy teams, Cheez n Nugget take the cake. I mean literally in episode 6 when they take the cake out to lunch. And out to lunch is really what this show is.”
Executive producer Fonda Snyder said, “It’s got friendship and heart that leaps off the plate and does a dance in your lap so make sure not to forget your napkin.”
“We are absolutely hilarious,” said the brash and excitable Cheez, or would if she was real.
Co-creator and writer Allon Zaslansky, added, “They aren’t real?”
The show will also be developed as a podcast via Baboon’s new voice company.
“Let the kids make their own damn drawing in their head,” said Baboon creative director Jeff Hylton.
“Well except the pictures are so darn fun to draw. and look at. That’s why we plan to do both,” says co-creator and art and animation director Neta Holzer.
