“THE WORST” ANIMATED TV SERIES IS COMING…
Hit Villainous Toy Line “The Worst” Will Be Made Into an Animated TV Series by Stoopid Buddy Stoodios and Super7
New York / Los Angeles – February 17, 2017 –
Stoopid Buddy Stoodios,
the award winning animation studio behind “Robot Chicken,”
“SuperMansion” starring Bryan Cranston, and the upcoming Netflix series
“Buddy Thunderstruck”, and San Francisco based toy and apparel
company Super7
announced today at Toy Fair in New York that they are teaming to
develop an all new animated television series based on Super7’s popular
toy line
“The Worst.”
There
are good guys. There are bad guys. And then there are…“The Worst”!
Created in 2016 as a standalone toy line, “The Worst” began with Super7
looking back historically
at their favorite franchises and finding that the best (or worst)
characters in any given series were usually the villains. With that in
mind, “The Worst” grew into an all new line of characters that were the
best of the worst, and became an overnight hit
with collectors, immediately selling out limited run action figures
within days of release.
In
the dead of night, “The Worst” are unleashed! The most villainously
vile vermin ever assembled lurk in the shadows and plot their evil
deeds.
What's the Worst that could happen? Definitely do not expect
them to play nice! “The Worst” are the meanest of the mean and the
baddest of the bad – simply put, they are the Worst bad guys ever! Their
unholy alliance (all of whom will be title characters
in the new animated series) features:
Black Falcon - Undead Warlord of Doom
Robot Reaper - Robotic Harbinger of Death
X-2 the Unknown - Mysterious Shadow Assassin
Gas Phantom - Ethereal Specter of Evil
Batula - Bat Prince of Darkness
Snake Tut - Serpent God of Destruction
Super7
Founder Brian Flynn said, "We are really excited about the opportunity
to share ‘The Worst’ ideas we have ever had with the world. Starting
with toys, and
now moving into animation, we look forward to having worse ideas with
even worse partners to create ‘The Worst’ animation ever."
"Being
the nerds of nostalgia that we are, we were all in as soon as we saw
the art on the packaging for ‘The Worst’ figures. What could be better
than awesome heavy
metal inspired art with action figures that only have 5 points of
articulation? Answer? A cartoon!" said Stoopid Buddy Stoodios
co-founder John Harvatine IV.
Led
by founders and partners Seth Green, John Harvatine IV, Matthew
Senreich and Eric Towner, Stoopid Buddy Stoodios is well known for its
Emmy Award-winning stop
motion sketch comedy television series “Robot Chicken” which recently
aired its eighth season, created and executive produced by Seth Green
and Matthew Senreich along with co-head writers Douglas Goldstein and
Tom Root for Adult Swim. The team is currently
in production on a new special themed to “The Walking Dead” that will premiere in 2017.
They
are also the brains behind Sony Crackle’s hugely successful
“SuperMansion” starring Bryan Cranston, Yvette Nicole Brown,
Keegan-Michael Key and Chris Pine. Season
2 began streaming on February 16.
Most
recently, they were responsible for Netflix’s new stop-motion
children’s series “Buddy Thunderstruck” in collaboration with American
Greetings Entertainment.
The highly anticipated show will begin streaming on March 10.
