John K. Presents - a Funny Animal Cartoon Variety Show


JOHN K. PRESENTS

SEE SOME STORYBOARDS HERE!

The show offers funny animal cartoons and characters in what would be called skits in variety shows. Characters that become extra popular come back and can be spun off into series.


The format for the cartoon show is inspired by:


Walt Disney’s Wonderful World:

The Walt Disney Show always started with live action of Walt at his desk talking to the audience. Sometimes he would go to his library, pick out a book of a classic story, open it up and we would see the illustration come to life. Other times he would be talking to his characters on the desk - like Donald Duck.

The live action and cartoon composites never quite worked perfectly. Walt didn’t make eye contact with Donald. It was as if he was looking above his head.


I want to make fun of that. If I’m looking in the wrong place, my cartoon character will be jumping up and down, “Over here! Here I am, you idiot!”

Or…when Walt would shake hands with a cartoon character the registration would always be slightly off. Mine will be completely off.

I’ll be shaking hands with the air while my character is behind me getting frustrated. Then I swing around and accidentally knock him off the desk.

My desk drawers are filed with dusty used cartoon characters who try to escape every time I open the drawer. Hell – my own drawers could be filled with characters who come out holding their noses (or beaks).


KRASPAR THE CURMUDGEONLY BEAR IS THE MAIN CHARACTER

Our first cartoon will be Kraspar The Curmudgeonly Bear. He'll be the main character like Huckleberry Hound, but we will do bumpers and fake commercials with other animal characters to supplement the show and give the audience an assortment of characters they can pick their favorites from.
