About this episode

Todd Redner discusses the creation of Creature from Plaque Lagoon and shares insights on animation and character design.

Don't try and get any sort of nest egg going, because all it'll do is get your teeth knocked out. That's the lesson I've learned from this episode. Aqua Teen art director and character designer Todd Redner joins the show to give us invaluable information behind the creation of Creature from Plaque Lagoon — he'll trade one fact for every tooth you'll offer him. We're talkin' Tooth Fairy lore, Todd seeing his 2D characters in 3D on Zombie Ninja Pro-Am, and making Wongburger — oops, sorry; Chatterman — in his new tooth form. Other topics discussed include how real life doesn't always look real in art, corporations only wanting to make cartoons for as cheap as possible, and getting in trouble with your mom for posting cartoon wieners on your blog. I also think I figured out who is actually voicing Wongburger, but.... I just don't know anymore, man.
