David S. Pumpkins Animated Halloween Special is Coming

Any questions?

TBH, I get why this is happening. Do I think it'll end well? Maybe not, but that I am interested to see how this turns out in the end, and where they go on the humor as it will be expanded.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

I’m game. If they get the joke and expand on it this could be a cult classic.

And as another thing to add, the animation is being done from Bento Box Animation from LA/Atlanta/Toronto, that has contributed to shows like Bob's Burgers, Harold and Kumar, and Brickleberry.

The fact it's on at 11:30pm and not during Primetime is encouraging.

 

[UK-Trigg]

I have no idea what this :shrug:

I am so in the weeds with David Pumpkins

Our Bill and Ted replacement

I think this could potentially be really good. The original skit like the majority of SNL's stuff felt like it was the beginning of a good idea that they didn't have time to develop. There was no real story he was just kind of there. Yet the character in spite of that really caught on. His appearance in this years Bill and Ted always get a strong audience reaction.

If it goes over well, I could also see it being the Bill and Ted replacement. With it being animated and VO work being fairly easy to get, it could even be a way to have Tom Hanks in an exclusive performance in the park, which would likely be a pretty big draw.
