It's time to put some respect on flapjacks name it is rarely. That a single cartoon has such a massive and long-lasting impact. On the entire cartoon industry sure Flapjack Cartoon you have the classic genre-defining cartoons. Power puff Girls Sponge Bob these were all massive successes it changed. The industry forever we know these classics but there's one show that quite created. The entire world of cartoons today and that show is the Marvelous. Misadventures of flapjack guys this is the story of how flapjack changed everything. The year is 2001 after graduating from Cal Arts the cultist school and animation. Third fan Norman found himself landing a job at Cartoon Network. Working in the animation industry bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Syrup Flapjack Cartoon had an idea pulling from his own childhood living in Panama City Florida. Third reflected on an old fantasy he had of living on a dock and going on adventures quote. When I was 14 I wanted to spend the summer on an island. Off the coast living off the land for three months. I wasn't even going to bring a pocketknife I was going to make everything.
I needed out of shells neat raw sea urchins and stuff like
that. I love this man all these ideas culminated in the perfect creative storm.
Creating a cartoon concept that he dubbed the Marvelous Misadventures of
flapjack. A show about a small boy and a
Flapjack Cartoon captain living in the mouth of a whale. Of course he took
his big ideas to the execs at Cartoon Network he went in front of them. And
with all his heart and soul pitched his dream and got rejected. According to
therapy the pitch went actually pretty awful they didn't take me too. The
person I pitched to was watching TV while I pitched even though. They acted
like they had notes and stuff. I realized no one would take me until I had some
experience not letting. This setback to sway him from making Flapjack Cartoon flapjack a reality
thumb took. This as a learning experience and got back to work the most crucial
thing. He got out of this whole process was feedback and he listened to all
that feedback. Took it to heart he needed more experience before he could pitch
again. So that's exactly what he got according to him. I started going to Power
puff story meetings and then they started buying ideas for me.
I worked hard those first two years to make a name for
myself doing story boards on power girls. Grim adventures of Billy &
Mandy camp Lazlo as soon. As I started making an impression people realized
there was this new person here. Who had some new ideas that's when I pitched
flapjack again instead of letting. The first Phil pitch discourage him there Flapjack Cartoon picked himself back
up and took it. All to heart he worked twice as hard to make a name for himself
and when he finally. Had the experience of a seasoned cartoonist around the
year 2003. He went back and read his flapjack and the studio said yes when
Thoreau got. The pitch he began to get to work and show running was a lot of
work. After spending some years in development flapjack finally premiered in
2008. The show was a tour de force and animation the whimsical Adventures.
About a boy named flapjack and his best friend and role model captain knuckles.
Living in the mouths of their whale bubbies and going on adventures in search
of a magical candy island. Seems like so much on paper already but it wasn't
the show’s concept that pulls viewers in. But the writing tone in surreal no
soothe show's humor flapjack. Was so weird and so funny that anyone watching
couldn't stop.
The show wasn’t afraid to get dark and borderline
disturbing. When it had to and it was great on top of the incredible
storytelling and writing fan. Check was monumental animation the show employed.
A ton of mixed media including stop-motion segments and bits to enhance. The
charm of the show like it's sister show shadow stop-motion was done. At screen
novelties a company out in Hollywood ever passionate. And ever hard-working
syrup was Flapjack Cartoon known to
often go down in animate scenes himself. If you’re not convinced of how
passionate he is this craft he even handmade. The puppets in the theme song
according to him the opening animation is done. With real woodcarver puppets I
carved almost all them and the wooden letters. At the top of the show myself we
were doing the pilot because we didn't have any budget. I could gush about
flapjack for hours and I will but it boils down to raw passion to pull from
flapjacks. Theme a good cartoon is often like a ship a crew of people working
hard to keep. Something afloat and every good ship needs a captain syrup. Was
one of the greatest captains in the industry the show's fan base.
It gets weird fast like bump into a giant pair of legs
floating on a raft. Now this is a bizarre concept and a weird turn for the
story but flapjacks youthful. Enthusiasm and general curiosity helps the viewer
adjust a little bit. To the weird situation the gets captain Flapjack Cartoon knuckles and
decides. That he wants to help the legs find his owner knuckles’ is lazy at
first. But Bobby makes him follow a good amount of slapstick humor. This clip
right here depicts their character dynamic projects first instinct is. To help
connect holes it doesn’t want to he's lazy but Bobby keeps him in check
together. The three of them are the perfect trio the episode spirals out of
control and flapjack. Convinces knuckles’ to wear the legs to help them find
the owner. The visual of knuckles’ with giant legs is hilarious on its own but
flapjacks tendency. To steer into the surreal makes the entire concept. That
much more hilarious when they head back to Storm. Slong harbor knuckles’ gets
greedy with the legs and starts wreaking havoc.
All across town must have flapjacks dismay it's not until he
has a spiritual conversation with a fish. That admits to being a part of his
own psyche and the return of the top half of the horrifying monster. And
original owner of the legs the flapjack learns what Flapjack Cartoon he has to do knuckles’ greediness. Backfires in
his own face the legs destroy his store Milan Harbor and even ends up losing.
His original legs which this is flapjack in a nutshell Bob Jack is hopeful and
tries. To help people and knuckles’ abuses that hopeful energy and pays for it
in the end. It’s safe to say that you can see a little bit of flapjack and a
lot of cartoons. that came after it both in how surreal this show was able to
get and also how grounded. It was flapjack was having a conversation with a
talking fish. But the conversation was about empathy and emotion these grounded.
And strange concepts are hilarious and is a style of comedy. That will be used
far into the future and that's not a coincidence. But we're going to get to
that in a second Bob Jack was nominated for plenty of awards.
During its two-year run from 2008 to 2010 the show got 46
episodes over 91 segments. And what is one of the weirdest endings in all
television. As a decade ended the story of flapjack came to an end and what
came. After was unprecedented after flapjack Flapjack Cartoon ended in 2010. We entered monumental decade for
animation receiving. Some of the most notorious and influential cartoons of all
time. And seeing the animation community blossom and grow into. Something
that's bigger and greater than has ever been before 2010 felt like. The start
of a golden age one that hasn't stopped since and almost. All the notable
cartoons in this golden age were created. By flapjack alumni Adventure Time the
biggest show of the decade definitely. A cultural phenomenon at the very least
was created by Pendleton ward. A prominent writer and story border on flapjack
its sister show regular. Show was another massive success regular show
employed. That same brand of surreal humor tied to the monotony of working a
minimum-wage job.
And the show managed to find a huge and passionate audience
both young. And old regular show’s creator JC quintal was a creative director
and writer. On flapjack having two prominent cartoon creators come from one
show is not that. Abnormal in the industry but seeing those two shows be such
massive phenomenon’s. And huge successes is not Flapjack Cartoon something that happens often but it gets crazier
cut to 2012. A story border from the Marvelous Misadventures of flapjack gets
their own cartoon. Pick up by the house of mouse of all places that man's name
was Alex Hirsch gravity falls. Went on to be a phenomenon one of the
quintessential shows of the last 10 years. And is hailed as one of the greatest
cartoons of all-time he got his start on flapjack. Even went back and got his old
boss having voice Gideon one of the show's main antagonists. Think you can't
get any crazier and 2014 freak in a miniseries over the garden wall. Huge
critical and commercial success when the most beloved miniseries. And pieces of
animation of all time still love to this day that was created by Patrick Macau.
A storyboard artist on flapjack he even had a flapjack character named
Ponzikal. Based off of him as terrifying as he is do you see the pattern at
this point.
It's normal to get a brilliant creator or even creators to
come out of a show. Stephen Halen burg worked on Rocco’s Modern Life before
creating. The biggest cartoon icon since Mickey Mouse I mean creators. Don’t
come out of nowhere usually working in the industry. Before they get their hand
at their own show but to have this many members of the flapjack. Crew go on to
create this many prominent cartoons is unprecedented. They all went on to Flapjack Cartoon become household
names if anything the fact. That they all worked on the same show at all is
well marvelous. But it was the start I mean if you're using this logic you can
stretch. It even further Adventure Time gave us Rebecca sugar who went on to
make Steven universe. That divided further to give us ok koi and Craig of the
Creek Regular Show gave us. Owen Dennis and infinity trained gravity falls led
to the owl house and in Fib. By all these creators are talented and brilliant
and they all deserve their own show. They worked as hard but is crazy to think
that all these shows in fact the entire current. Landscape of animations
stemmed from one man's weird fantasy to eat sea urchins on the beach. And a
whole lot of talents and guys that's how flapjack changed everything that's.
All I got but guys I want to know what your opinion is on all this do you agree
with me is there. Anyone out there who hates flapjack and thought it was
annoying.
