FOX ORDERS
ALL-NEW, STOP-MOTION
HOLIDAY
SPECIAL FROM STOOPID BUDDY STOODIOS
FOX
Entertainment has ordered a stop-motion holiday special from Stoopid
Buddy Stoodios, the Emmy Award-winning company founded by Seth Green,
John Harvatine IV, Matthew Senreich and Eric Towner. The all-new,
irreverent special, written by Emmy Award winner Tom Root (“Robot
Chicken”), will premiere next winter on FOX, as part of its “Not
So Silent Nights” holiday-themed programming.
“I truly
love this project and we couldn’t ask for a better partner than
FOX, since they’ve consistently been a leader in high-quality,
provocative and subversive entertainment,” noted Green. “We are
very excited to make what we intend to be both a nostalgic and modern
holiday classic.”
“FOX has a
long and valued history with Seth as an actor, due largely to his
fantastic voice work as ‘Chris Griffin’ on FAMILY GUY. But Seth
and his partners at Stoopid Buddy have created best-in-class
stop-motion animation as well, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to
grow this relationship,” said Michael Thorn, President,
Entertainment, FOX Entertainment. “It also builds on our commitment
to create holiday programming, and with Seth’s innate understanding
of our company’s irreverent brand, we’re looking forward to a
seasonal special that, simply put, could only air on FOX.”
“As
kids, we looked forward to holiday programming all year,” added
Root. “Our goal is to give grown-ups like us – fans of FOX
animated shows with sick senses of humor – a holiday program worth
watching after the kids are in bed.”
As told
through the twisted filter of Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, the visceral,
action-packed hour of holiday insanity will feature classic holiday
icons, including Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, who come together
with brand-new minor mascots from Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s
Day, Thanksgiving and even Daylight Savings Day.
The holiday
special will be produced by Stoopid Buddy Stoodios and FOX
Entertainment. It will be directed by John Harvatine IV. Seth Green,
Harvatine, Tom Root, Matthew Senreich and Eric Towner will serve as
executive producers.
