Neptoon’s Promo Washes Ashore
Back in February, you might 
have spotted a post here about ‘Camp TV,’ a new Flash-animated series from the creators of ’6teen.’ The project has officially borne fruit, and they’ve also got a new title – ‘Total Drama Island.’
The talented folks at Neptoon Studios, which is headed up by Todd Kauffman and Mark Thornton, recently posted a link to their animated promo.
With artists like Jared Deal and Joel Trussell on board, it’s no wonder this thing looks and moves so well.
Next up – 26 episodes for Teletoon, due out in 2007. Production starts in June.

I agree the art looks great, but the show itself looks awful. It looks like another crappy reality show. I don’t even detect any sort of original theme. At least Drawn Together uses cartoony characters. And 2007? As if reality TV hasn’t been beaten down enough, I’m not sure how many people will still be paying attention by then. They seem to be jumping on a boat that’s long sailed. Are we so limited in our imaginations that we have to borrow ideas from other successful concepts? Lame.

The only thing they are missing is a lazy mexican.

Animation and design looks great, hardly surprising given the calibre of the talent. The concept leaves me cold. Very cold. If the teaser is unfunny, how is the series going to play?

This was probably the worst show I ever had the pleasure of working on!

Admitingly, it didn’t look so well at first, but It was realeased 4 weeks ago and me and my sister love it! What better way to mix up reality TV with stereotyped teens and random acts of cartoon violence?
TDI! TDI!
