the mc chris cartoon pitch (rough animation)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- the mc chris cartoon has been a dream of mine since i released my first album in 2001. that's 12 years of dreams! after being turned down by my alma mater Adult Swim, where I starred in and helped animate shows like Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sealab 2021 and The Brak Show, I went to my fan base and asked them for the dough via kickstarter.com.
Well in a month and a half we raised the money we needed and were able to go into production with Titmouse Animation (Venture Brothers, Super Jail, Black Dynamite, Metalocalypse, Afro Samurai, GI Joe Resolute) We finished the sound with JC Richardson (Archer) and made a trailer that we put up on You Tube. We were then able to go into development with a different network, and pilot script was written with Super Jail and Home Movies scribe Janine DiTullio.
Unfortunately or fortunately, depending upon how you look at it, in spite of signing a six episode contract, the show was recently dropped. But the good news is: now it's available to whomever is interested!
I've got 200,000 fans that have been waiting for this cartoon since I first premiered on Adult Swim and now you can you have that big chunk of viewership with a pretty bow on top. If interested please contact me at mcchrismgmt@gmail.com and I will get back to you before you're even done writing the email. Thanks for watching. Thanks for the support and here's to many many episodes of the mc chris cartoon.
the majority of the art was done by nate bellegarde (nowhere men)
the animation was done by Titmouse Animation
the music was done by Andrew Futral
the sound was done by JC Richardson at Magick Lantern
the cast includes:
Drone - Neil Casey (writer for SNL)
Captain - Anthony Atamanuik (writer for 30 rock)
Tim Chandler - John Gemberling (fat guy stuck in internet)
mc chris - Chris Ward
Zombies - the fans
Remember this is just a pitch so the animation isn't done, it's only half of the pilot script and there are numerous things that will feel incomplete. The final version will look much different, have different characters, different dialogue, but this is the gist.
I hope you enjoy it and I hope that if you have a dream, you never give up on it. no matter how many no's you might hear.
Thanks!

Adult Swim... Your fan base LOVES MC... We WANT this! Make it happen! :D
Why isnt this a thing yet? ;~;
Because American animation studios can't afford it.
Look up outsourcing animation and you'll understand.
Seerofvisions UK
Its not that people are bastards. Its just that Korean animators can do the same thing an American animator can do for 1/10th the coast.
( And I'm Angry cos I want to work at cartoon network! But guess who's getting that privilege!?! )
Rapid シ lol rapid
Because it sucks
Dont get me started
It has that same feeling like the cartoon characters are making everything up as they go along like Sealab 2021 back in the day... This is awesome.
Its 2019 and im still waiting for this to happen. How much would it cost to get mc to make music video for me? I adore his art style
I sadly dont think this will be released.. Go look up Mc Chris's website. He has contact info on there.
omg im sold on the dinosaurs
only 7 years ago....back in the innocent days before MC Chris became insanely political, before he grew a beard, before he became a hopeless pot-addict and before he became a transient living in his car between gigs...i miss the younger, more wide-eyed and innocent sounding MC who only cared about having fun and making awesome music...
This can only get better! Love the MC Chris rants and skits. Keep doing your awesome!!!
This is amazing. More of this, please!
2020 and I still love this
Where is Adult swim right now? MC has been helping William Street for years! Chris has payed his dues, and deserves to at least have a pilot air at least. He has worked on, Sealab 2012, Welcome to Eltingville, The Brak Show, ATHF, Space Ghost, Ergo Proxy, Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell. He is a Nerdcore icon! You would think William Street would notice one of there biggest helpers for the network, with that much fame. He is/has been a great asset for William Street. MC has a huge fan base and there are die hard adult swim fans such as myself. This is a great concept, truely. This has great potential William Street, dont pass it up...
unfortunately paying your dues working at Adult Swim ( and essentially bringing it into popularity) means getting fired down the road. Adult Swim is just like the generation it panders to, complete masochists.
+Zak Hill Unfortunately, Adult Swim is run by old dudes that dress young. Constantly trying to keep up with the kiddies and stay cool. Everything will be live action eventually. Except Venture Bros. That shit'll be around forever cause it's badass.
you're encouraging selective nepotism, a huge problem that plagues the entire entertainment industry. if the product is bad it should be passed on for higher quality content.
Aim for Netflix MC Chris,make it happen Bud!!!
I love how a 2 minute long chase scene was followed by them saying “don’t get me started” for 2 minutes
No fucking wonder this isn’t a show
"what are the moral ramifications?"
"Bad."
"i'm OK with that!"
I laughed SO hard
I can quickly understand why this pitch wasn't picked up.
Why did you say that all those years ago? Has your position changed at all
you realize that this is at least half the length of an episode and the first minute was basically the same as someone describing the setting. it also makes references to the skits on his albums. I kinda agree with the don't get me started part, but that did make this memorable and could gain twitter support with it and help the show get picked up
I think this cartoon is what the mc fans really have been waiting for a way to bridge the albums together, while adding in the awesomeness of Chris, I would watch this show all day and buy it on bluray if given the chance
I don't know why but cartoon chris reminds me of Billy from grim adventures of billy and mandy
It's like someone took a bunch of Family Guy and stuck it on a Micro SD card and then gave it to a guy in a Pokemon costume to jab under one of my fingernails.
So bad?
I think this is one of the BEST cartoons, I've watched in a long time. It's focused on adult humor but incorporates graphics I can relate to my childhood. Now, that I'm older and still a nerd I crave something that will let me watch a good ole cartoon that relates to my age, interest, and older days. I love the graphics, LOVED the characters, and LOVE MC! PLEASE GIVE HIM HIS CHANCE!WE ARE ALL BEGGING! GO MC!!!!!!NEVER GIVE UP! MC GIVES ALL OF US HOPE WHEN WE HAVE NOTHING LEFT. SO WE R HERE 4 HIM
mc chris posts this like a bajillion times a day and each time I watch it. Not because it's there, not because I want him to get the views, but because I genuinely want to see it every time. I like it as a cartoon, not just as fan fodder. It has the same wit and humor as any cartoon with a huge writing staff, and a promising premise. I haven't seen a full episode yet and it already has crazy rerun value, like all those years of Futurama on [as].
Better than any of the god awful live action shows on adult swim.
it's a DAMN good thing we have shows like Superjail and MR.-FUCKING-PICKLES that get funding rather than this!
Right?! Not to mention Uncle fucking Grandpa.
+JEEVES635 Mr. Pickles fucking sucks, Superjail Is Ok. This show Is... I dunno, at all. It seems annoying.
TheRevenant 360 Superjail is just shock imagery; that's it, really. I've only seen some of it, but that was all I needed.
JEEVES635 I have seen some slower-paced episodes when there was barely any of It, mainly the one where the gay couple get married, It barely affected me unlike anyother episode. But Mr. Pickles Is shock Imagery as well, I really just think Rick and Morty Is the best Adult-Swim show out there.
TheRevenant 360 Oh, Rick And Morty is definitely the best AS show right now. I was just trying to point out that this show would have been better than a lot of what I've seen on AS lately. Cancel Mr. Pickles and put this on. Very little people would care, but it's still a better waste of time, and not nauseating to look at. :p
This is still fire. 10 years later and I would still lose my mind if Netflix or someone greenlit an MC Chris cartoon
MC Chris is Dreaming is quite possibly the best album of my lifetime. This guy is genius and I hope he eventually gets to fully realize his ideas.
this is up there with the best adult swim pilots. cartoon network's loss is smodcast's, machinima's, or nerdist's gain. mc chris ownz, i wanna watch another mc chris show!
I support you and all but for the pilot you're meant to pull us all in bruh, not bore us with repetitive and cliche moments and plus the jokes aspect were either good or just horrible......the ally was funny......the don't get me started, didn't get my laughing engines started
I had to turn i off at 3;21. I had forgiven MC Chris for the whole twitter/bouncer/reddit breakdown/insult/apology/breakdown/insult some more thing.... I even got to the point to where I could listen to his music again. But something about a tiny kid version of him saying "Don't get me started" back and forth with an adult was too ironic and it made me cringe.
I was a big fan, dude. I even paid for your shit to support you and allow you to make more shit. I just can't handle people that berate fans.
I hope you find whatever peace you need. Seriously. That way you could put it into a kickass cartoon with a rap theme or rap with a cartoon video. Doesn't even have to be a rap. You got talent and drive. I wish I had both. Don't waste it. But don't make cartoons of you being whiny. It's a little too close to home.
I didn't spell check so sorry for any errors... not that people on youtube care.
The world doesn't revolve around you.
I agree with you Thumb. If you are even alive today, I agree.
No disrespect to Adult Swim but I've seen a hell of a lot of boring garbage on that network and for them to turn down The MC Chris Cartoon is really baffling to me. Just from watching this 6 minute clip I can see all the potential in the world for this thing. I found it very funny and I love the idea of song breaks. I really really hope that this turns into a full season somehow someday. Much respect to you MC Chris!
They turned Dow achar is but they greenlit Tyler the Creator?
this needs to be made. mc chris is the man, and I really don't think that anyone deserves their own cartoon more than him. the fans want it, and mc is relentless - never give up, never surrender- lets find this cartoon a home.- we want more.
This is pretty bad, lol.
What didn't you like about it?
*****
Just wasn't funny. Too much repeating words for humor.
Penny Filkins Its better than most other shows that repeat fuck and shit over and over for humor.
EightBitAcid
I don't like those either. Bad is just bad. And this is just not good. :P
+Penny Filkins Well if this was an actual show it would have multiple episodes with much more jokes and dialog, I'm sure they wouldn't do a repeating joke like the one in this short in every episode, the rest of the video was pretty neat, a cool way of humor! I Tell Ya!
MC You've outdone yourself just when i thought you couldn't get any more awesome, we all need MOAR of the MC Chris Cartoon... There's a lot you could do with this show and i think it really works i would so wake up early or stay up late to watch this ^_^ now to share with my friends
Ay mc Chris when this AMC stock shit pops off and my pops becomes a multi millionaire I got you I just want to see where you can take this because just this 6 minute video is the most entertaining shit in the world ,its fucking comical genius
Super proud to be a backer of this! Its exceeded all my expectations and it's killing me not knowing what adventures lie behind those doors. Also...DON'T. GET. ME. STARTED. on not hearing the rest of that song. NEED MOAR.
This is amazing. Why Am I seeing this just now??
this looks like the glory days of adult cartoons, brought to the future for our viewing pleasure! we need more of this, more episodes, more than six minutes. this needs to be on the air!!
How is this not a show??? I hope MC gets enough support to make this into an actual show. Like this , share it, a shout out to all the MC Chris fans out there.
I love the association with all the skits!!! And the skits are so funny! A show is gonna be amazing!!
Been waiting on this for YEARS! Very happy with what is going on, this cartoon has EVERYTHING (zombies, dinosaurs, talking lizards, post-apocalyptic, MC Chris, Robot owl, dimensional doors, ect.) I can't wait to see more!
That "Don't get me started" song has been stuck in my head ever since you posted this. Don't regret it though.
The humor kept on coming. It made me feel like a kid again watching my favorite Saturday morning cartoon, something just clicked in my head and I knew I loved this show, and this is all before the plot even came in, which has so much possibility. Inter-dimensional treasure hunting? Genius to the nth degree. I want this show something fierce. Visually it's beautiful as well. Some of the best work I've seen.
this is such a great show. a lot better than a lot of things on right now. it makes me sad when i see amazing shows like this not getting picked up. adult swim is really missing out, for not picking up this or the Hellbenders animation.
I must see more. I wanted to cry with each passing second because that was a second closer to it being over. My 2 year old son loves it just as much as me. Now he's running around singing "Don't get me started!". I love it.
I love this cartoon so much. I proudly supported the first KickStarter and was happy to again give my support to the new KickStarter.
How is this not picked up yet? Seriously! This is great and I want more. You can do it Mc Chris!
This has to happen!!! Followed mc since his very beginning... This would be amazing!!!!!
I couldn't be more excited for a full episode. And with titmouse animating, I know it's going to look absolutely phenomenal as a finished product. it's funny, it has music, zombies, giant robots, crocodile aliens, dinosaurs and who knows what else lies beyond those other doors. (wild west mars) what more could we possibly want from an mc chris cartoon? oh a jet pack robot owl? nope he's got that covered too.
....is it june first yet? lets go to wild west mars already!
I love this, I absollutely love this. MC Chris, your cartoon is exactly the type of show I would invest time and attention in. I wish you the best of luck with the pitch, and whatever the outcome, know that your fans love you and support you.
I love this. It should have been picked up.
Put this on the air, and I will watch it over and over and freaking over.
The concept of inter-dimensional doors is brilliant! Never-ending plot devices is the gift that keeps on giving!
Huge fan of the pitch, and love that "don't get me started" has become something of a meme among fans, a thing we can say and other fans will recognize. Also I'm super psyched about the infinite possibilities for episodes that these doors present!
An excellent premise to work from! With a colorful character like Mc Chris, putting him into a post apocalyptic world s well as giving the chance for extradimensional travel the palette of places this series can go is enormous. The amount of people it can appeal to grows with every new place the cartoon can take itself, and MC Chris' humor and his over all style will make this one to remember. SOMEONE PICK THIS UP AND MAKE SOME MONEY!
I love the animation from titmouse and I love the t-rexies the best also loved the suspense of whats to come!
Don't get ME started!... On how awesome this truly is. mc chris, one of the greatest creative forces to ever grace this planet, delivers us his vision of a world I want desperately to return to. He's not afraid to be himself, and it shines in everything he does, especially this. Much love mc, you have made something truly genius here and I hope the right people find to make your dreams come true!
this series must be made! ever since the first teaser announcement that this was happening, i've been on the edge of my seat. A unique concept and plot, great music, and fantastic voice acting. Support Chris Ward! The fans want this!
f'n awesome! ive been waiting for a cartoon like this forcas long as ibcan remember! hope this makes it and dont get me started on how awesome this is going to be!
This is some fresh, hip animation! With all the low-quality shows that are on the air, I can't understand why something this good isn't on right now!
I've watched this several times since yesterday. It's a great idea for a show. I can't believe networks aren't jumping on it. "Multi-dimensional treasure hunting"? I can't be the only person who wants to see more than six minutes or six episodes. I demand more!
In the wise words of an MC that is dear to me, Never give up! Never surrender!
I need this show to happen! Nothing makes a bad day better like some mc chris. This show is everything I've ever needed in a cartoon.
I do like the idea of an underground childlike nerdcore rap artist taking on every possible apocalyptic scenario in an alternate future timeline while jumping into several other alternate dimensions to recover artifacts for his producer for unknown and most likely nefarious purposes, all while performing shows with the robot owl from Clash of the Titans.
I signed in to UA-cam for the first time just to give this a Like. The world needs an MC Chris cartoon!
Love what I see so far!! Can't wait to see the finished product. Love the cute robot owl.
I WANT MOAR!!!! There is so much potential here, how can AS not see that?? This is awesome!
Good writing, good voices, good animation - why is this not on the air already?!?!?
Get on that, execs...don't get me started...
I keep coming back to watch this over and over. I need more, please!! I really want to know more about the alien crocodiles and the dinosaurs...but mostly mc chris! This is just what I'm looking for, a show with imagination going on! An apocalypse with so much going on in it has endless potential!
Don't get me started on how much I like this video.
The T-Rex part is hilarious oh my jessica beil it's so great.
Holy crap! Super awesome! I really hope we get a whole season of this!
mc chris is the shit, don't get me started. what the world needs now is many, many more of these!!!
This is hilarious. I've already watched it a few times now, which is saying a lot for a 6-minute clip. This deserves to be picked up ASAP!
Awesome and finally! Been waiting for an MC cartoon for a long time, don't get me started!
theres so much potential! i cant wait to see it become a series. I hope its picked up soon and expanded on, i love it so far
Now I'm going to be singing "Don't get me started" all day. Great.
This is fantastic stuff!
Don't get me started! I've been singing that all damn day. I even did the dishes....without music. Sooooo cute!!
I would die if there was an MC Chris series. This looks really funny.
I just watched this 3 times in a row. I would like to hear more mc chris in the opening sequence. I would also like to see more of the space crocs, the zombie apocalypse, the couple upstairs, the dinosaurs, the robot overlords and the dimensional portals. Pretty much, just more. And your owl sidekick is awesome.
This is surprisingly good. Not only is it funny but It actually made me laugh. Out loud. And not in a 'lol that's funny' way but with actual laugh noises. I would pay to watch this.
I love it! I'm proud to be one of the backers. The dinosaur part is my favorite. I can't wait to see more!
Why in the world is this not a show yet? The world needs more MC. And I thought the Don't get me started gag was awesome. It led into a song for God's sake!
Favorite Parts: T-Rexes/dialogue, The don't get me started song(just not the intro to it), The robot's control everything was funny, Wild West Mars, the possibility of inter-dimensional travel in general is neat, and opens up a lot of cool ideas especially with a cartoon.
Your work in the past was great with other shows, and your music is inventive, I think you would make excellent cartoons given the chance. You have quite the following as well, so that would make for a large viewing audience.
Awesome awesome awesome!!!! I don't really watch much on tv anymore, but I'd sure as hell make sure I'd watch this!! MC chris has akways been hillarious!!
I would really love to see how this whole thing would flesh out, at least for one season. Whatever channel deserted this will be kicking themselves when this thing does get made. For real, give it a shot for one season. I would renew my cable television just to watch this show.
Me like-y! Thanks MC, we are ALL behind your dream, your sweet rhymes, and your awesome fight against CF!
dude. This is awesome. Watched it first the other day on my phone and had the same issue with the don't get me started thing as others but now that I've watched it on an actual real screen, it was glorious.
Everything was great..
Gotta see more of this right here.
Funny, funny stuff.
omg the animation is so freakin sweet! and Chris you're the best!
adult swim needs this! this deserves to be a show!!!
I would definitely DVR a bunch of these and watch them in marathon sessions on Saturdays until the blu rays are released.
I didn't have much to donate but I did back this and you guys did a great job! mc chris is amazing and hilarious and if anyone deserves their own cartoon it's this guy. Btw I love don't get me started!
it will be a crime if a network doesn't pick this up. It's a simply awesome pitch. My kids love it, I love it, this clip just makes me want more!
This is awesome. It should totally be made into a show. You've got my support!
Ay. MC Chris. Thanks. I saw you at Warped Tour Chicago 10+ years ago and tried to see you since but you were sold out. I just wanted to see what all my past NerdCore heroes were up to. MC Frontalot, MC Lars, MC Chris. The big three. you were the ONLY ONE to have recent NEW songs that I hadn't heard yet. I love you man. Keep it up. Also stay sober. Thank you for staying active,
love,
LogicalPhallusy
Chris, keep it up man. If you make it, the fans will come and we will love the hell out of it. I know it's no small job making a cartoon, but you got this. It hits home to the long time fans and would be appealing to people who don't know you from the homeless guy at the home depot. And I'm with everyone else here I'm sure when I say the big wigs over TV can suck it.
I would watch this cartoon until my eyeball pops out of my head like a pirate.
I grew up on cartoons, they have been a central part of my TV entertainment diet and shall remain as such. I expect a lot from cartoons, and just this brief glimpse into the world mr ward (lowercase no dots) is trying to create has me incredibly excited, the potential this show has is incredible. The film starts rolling with a chase scene, not the most thrilling experience in the world, but do I care? No. I'm in it for the entertainment not the suspense.
My husbands favorite part is the Dont Get Me Started part, however I really love the dinosaurs best. Great job, MC. We laughed the whole way through.
DON'T GET ME STARTED... On how awesome this show looks! Can't wait to see a season of it!
Well, now you've done it. You went and got me started. PLEASE CONTINUE!!! Don't leave me with this 6 minutes of truncated joy, never knowing what happened after you went through the door, or if your awesome owl buddy caught up with you, or Wild West Mars or ANYTHING. I can't. I'll be bereft. Please, sir, may I have some more?
This is awesome! Love mc chris, his album skits are the best in hip hop, and a cartoon inside his world seems like a no-brainer for some production company to scoop up. Somebody finance more of these, I don't care if they're for the web, netflix, or if cartoon network/adult swim come to their senses and make more, but this needs to happen! machinima would be smart to pick this up. or maybe kevin smith can help make more. c'mon internet, let's make this happen!
Don't get me started! on how awesome this is! How has someone not picked this up? adult swim, what are you doing?! This is exactly the kind of thing we want from you!
Bro i love this. I think it is hilarious and absolutely amazing man. Keep up the good work!! -MC
