CosmicBills Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) After what seems like an eternity, the show I've been working on for the past year is premiering at the end of the month. I know TSW isn't exactly the demographic that Disney XD is chasing but I thought I'd pass along the word in case anyone's interested in checking it out. MOTORCITY is a half hour animated action/adventure show geared towards children in the 8-15 year old range. Though, in reality, any fan of animated awesomeness will be able to enjoy this show. The show is kind of a combination of Demolition Man and Robin Hood. Here's a link to the trailer: http://disney.go.com/xd/motorcity/videos/?video=0_9s95tti3 There's also a free iPad/iPhone app called MOTORCITY DRIVE which is actually a lot of fun. I should note the cast includes the talents of: Reid Scott, Kate Micucci, Nate Torrance, Kel Mitchel, Jess Harnell, Mark Hamill, Jim Breuer and the great Brian Doyle Murray.

Just Jack Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 So it's a Fast And Furious cartoon? And I didn't see any secret Two Bills Drive mention in the video.
CosmicBills Posted April 13, 2012 Author Posted April 13, 2012 So it's a Fast And Furious cartoon? And I didn't see any secret Two Bills Drive mention in the video. When my episodes start airing, there will be a few TSW references. I haven't seen the final cuts of 3 of my episodes yet, but so far most of the little shout outs have survived the process. The most notable ones are going to be found in the character names I used.

PromoTheRobot Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 There has to be a robot. Kids love robots. PTR
BuffaloBillsSD Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Probably won't watch but congrats nonetheless. Can't even begin to imagine the work that went into a project like this.

So you squish a bug in it? Cool.
plenzmd1 Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 set up the keyword / autorecord as more than two weeks out. Have a son in your targeted demographic, so we will watch. Just a question OT, do you all get credit in the atings if shows are DVRed?

Just a question OT, do you all get credit in the atings if shows are DVRed? Awesome! I'll update this thread when we get a bit closer to the actual date as well. As for the ratings, DVR ratings are now calculated in the ratings, they just come out in a separate set a little bit later in the week. So DVRs definitely count!
Mike In Illinois Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 My son saw a commercial for the app and he wants me to download it so he can play it. It shows a green race car, if I recall correctly. Congratulations!
CosmicBills Posted April 16, 2012 Author Posted April 16, 2012 My son saw a commercial for the app and he wants me to download it so he can play it. It shows a green race car, if I recall correctly. Congratulations! That's the one! And in fact, I just found out the premier episode is now available on iTunes for free a week before it airs on XD. Anyone interested in checking it out just search for "Battle for Motorcity" under TV Shows and it should pop up. Again, both the episode and the iPad game are free. Though it's Disney, so I'm not sure how long that will last.

If you have a talking hamster named Sammy he better not be a nice guy.
Dr. Fong Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 That's awesome. I'll be sure my son and I tune in.
The Poojer Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 I hope its not on the same time as my little pony!
CosmicBills Posted April 17, 2012 Author Posted April 17, 2012 I hope its not on the same time as my little pony! Oh god, we'd get trampled. If you have a talking hamster named Sammy he better not be a nice guy. I will say that the name Sammy made it into one of my episodes though his name got chopped to Sam the last I heard ... alas, he was not a hamster (or a gerbil) but rather an 11 year old kid who gets captured by a villainously psychotic robot hell bent on wiping out a group of LARPers. Kinda like Googlebot.

WVUFootball29 Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Animation looks a lot like Samurai Jack. Any chance that was the animation team that did the work? Any chance Ed is a horrible human being made the reference list? Congrats on the show TG
